The itinerary includes the following iconic locations:
French Quarter
The French Quarter, or Vieux Carré (Old Square) as the locals call it, is the most famous and oldest district in New Orleans. Its streets are imbued with the unique blend of French elegance, Spanish grandeur, and Creole charm, creating an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world. From charming courtyards to vibrant street performances, this district takes you back in time while keeping the pulse of the city alive.
Garden District
Originally developed in 1806 by architect Barthélemy Lafon, the Garden District was designed as an interconnected network of parks, fountains, and canals. It stands as one of the earliest examples of Greek Revival architecture in New Orleans. The streets here still honor the names of the nine muses of Greek mythology, and the historic mansions showcase preserved beauty from the 19th century, blending Greek Revival and Italianate styles. Strolling through this neighborhood feels like stepping into a Southern fairytale.
Magazine Street
The paradise for shoppers and art lovers alike, offering a mix of boutique shops, vinyl record stores, and art galleries. Why visit?
- Shop for unique souvenirs and local crafts.
- Relax with a cold craft beer at The Bulldog or enjoy fine wine at The Tasting Room.
- Savor the eclectic dining scene, with options ranging from gourmet hot dogs to sophisticated tapas.
It’s the perfect spot to unwind and experience New Orleans’ modern charm.
Lafayette Cemetery
Founded in 1833, Lafayette Cemetery is a municipal burial ground that reflects the rich and often tragic history of 19th-century New Orleans. It’s the third-oldest cemetery still standing in the city.
- As you walk through the main pathway, notice the fourth tomb on the right — a haunting reminder of the yellow fever epidemic, where the Sercy family buried three children in just two days.
- Don’t miss the orphan’s tomb, located to the left of the center, symbolizing the city’s resilience through hardship.
The cemetery is a silent storyteller, capturing moments of history that shaped New Orleans.
Pontchartrain Bridge
On August 30, 1956, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway was unveiled, connecting the heart of New Orleans to the small communities on the lake’s northern shore. This 38-kilometer (24-mile) marvel is the longest continuous bridge over water in the world, supported by over 9,500 concrete pilings. As you drive across, you’ll be surrounded by sweeping views of the lake, offering a moment of serenity.
