The best place to start your New Orleans travel experience is the French Quarter, also known as Vieux Carr\u00e9. As the heart and soul of the city, there are plenty of things to see and do in this area. Established by French colonists in 1718, it’s the oldest neighbourhood in New Orleans and a National Historic Landmark. You\u2019ll still find French street names and French-inspired architecture including charming cobblestone streets, baroque ironwork and hanging plants, and lush courtyards and fountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the best attractions in the French Quarter include iconic City Park, Jackson Square, St Louis Cathedral, the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Cabildo, and Faulkner House Books. You\u2019ll also find dozens of amazing restaurants and the street performers will keep you entertained. And don\u2019t miss seeing the views of the Mississippi from the edge of the French Quarter. There\u2019s also the infamous Bourbon Street – the party centre of New Orleans. Wander down this street and you\u2019ll find lively bars, fortune tellers, and lots of late-night action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re visiting NOLA at Christmas time, be sure to head to Jackson Square on December 22nd. Hundreds of people fill the square with candles and joyful voices for the annual Caroling in Jackson Square concert and it\u2019s a truly special event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wander around City Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

City Park is the centrepiece of the French Quarter, with 1,300 acres of manicured green space and attractions. You\u2019ll find leafy walking paths, towering oaks, and native birds, and don\u2019t miss the Couturie Forest. It\u2019s a nature trail with eight distinct ecosystems that takes you to Laborde Mountain, the highest point in New Orleans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do it all in City Park from golf courses and museums to cafes and high-end restaurants in City Park. Have some fun at Storyland and the Carousel Gardens Amusement Park or rent a kayak or swan boat on the Big Lake. Or explore the five-acre Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden located next to the fantastic New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). You\u2019ll discover 90 sculptures set among reflecting pools, bridges, oaks and magnolias. There\u2019s also St. Anthony\u2019s Garden with statues and memorials, and the Old Ursuline Convent, the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if City Park is the star of the French Quarter – St. Louis Cathedral is the crown jewel. Built in the early 1700s, the cathedral is the oldest one in North America. Religious services, cultural events, and concerts are all held here, and even if you\u2019re not attending an event, you\u2019ve still got to take a look inside this beautiful building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you travel to New Orleans with Trafalgar, you\u2019ll get to explore City Park with a Local Specialist, hearing all kinds of local stories and legends. You\u2019ll also explore one of the famous above-ground cemeteries in the park. Spooky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for an alternative to Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, you\u2019ll love Frenchmen Street. This flour-block stretch of galleries, bars, restaurants and nightclubs is one of the most popular spots for locals.

You\u2019ll love The Spotted Cat for old-school jazz – think clarinet solos, brassy quarters, and booming voices – and a local swing crew shows off their moves on the dance floor. Locals also love Three Muses and d.b.a for their amazing musicians and great atmospheres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not into the nightlife, it\u2019s still worth exploring Frenchman Street during the day. Palace Market is a shopping oasis for local artisans selling homemade art and jewellery and it\u2019s open daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vibrant city is renowned for its voodoo culture… And there\u2019s no better place to experience it than Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo<\/a>. This museum and shop on Bourbon Street is the former home of the second Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau II, the daughter of the first Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Born in 1827 in New Orleans, Marie Laveau was known for performing her famous rituals in the swamps. She died in 1895 and legend says she drowned in Lake Pontchartrain while performing one of her rituals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today you can explore the Voodoo Queen\u2019s former home where she lived with her children. You\u2019ll find many Voodoo-related artefacts, books and spiritual items, plus you can get spiritual readings and Tarot card readings. Some people also believe Marie Laveau’s ghost is haunting the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
