Attractions and Tips
For the thousands of tourists who visit this historic city each year, a stroll down Bourbon Street is the perfect introduction to the city's legendary music scene. If you have a taste for the macabre, a tour of the "Cities of the Dead," home to many famous former inhabitants including voodoo priestesses, pirates and of course local musicians, is a ghostly experience. Completely restored after Hurricane Katrina, Jackson Square is still the heart of New Orleans after 300 years. The city's Garden District highlights the rich architecture of the region. A daytrip outside of the city will bring you to the stately plantations and mysterious swamps of Louisiana.
Participating in the mayhem and revelry of Mardi Gras is undoubtedly a bucket-list must and happens to coincide with the best time to visit New Orleans, February to May. The weather is cool and celebrations abound. For a calmer atmosphere, December and January are your months. Summers are sweltering but accommodations are at their most affordable.
