Attractions
No matter how many times you visit New Orleans, this is a must-stop. Beignets and cafe au laits, 24 hours a day. Do you need another reason?
This museum tells the story of World War II and remembers those who fought and died. It features special exhibits, films and audio stories from WWII veterans. This is a must-see for history buffs.
Jackson Square
The beautiful, historic park in the French Quarter is home to St. Louis Cathedral, street performers and is surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants. Stop by!
If you’re into haunted history, there’s plenty of it in New Orleans. There’s also plenty of ways to see it. Several shops offer haunted tours of the French Quarter or cemetery tours, full of information about the history of the city.
Get some retail therapy accomplished here with a wide range of stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Michael Kors, J Crew and Anthropologie.
This six-block stretch of shopping features a local flea market with art and jewelry, a farmer’s market, cafes and much more!
This musical venue in the heart of the French Quarter is a great place to catch some live jazz and get in touch with the city’s culture.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
