You have to visit the French Quarter if you go to New Orleans, but I wouldn't say it was the highlight of my trip. The architecture is stunning, have your cameras ready, but the place gets trashed with all the partiers on Bourbon Street.

We had a great time here. Lots to see and always somewhere decent to eat and drink . Its worth walking the whole length of Decataur Street and find the Christmas Shop....amazing
If you do nothing else in New Orleans you have to visit the French Quarter and feel the the atmosphere of the area, shops restaurants ,etc, the list is endless, great place to spend the day
I could spend my entire vacation here! There is so much to do and see you will never get bored. The area is a lot cleaner than I anticipated it would be, which is great. Everyone is so nice and friendly and is willing to recommend places for you! Going back next week, CANT WAIT!
Boutiques, antique stores, great restaurants- the French Quarter is filled with culture, charm and entertainment. The open air entertainment on Rue Royal adds to the wonderful festive atmosphere. There is so much to take in and do - take your time to explore this tourist gem!
But leave the kids with a sitter at night. We took a ghost tour and a segway tour. The bars are wild and people are dancing in the street. It is perfectly acceptable to walk around drinking alcohol.
The street is closed to traffic and people are sharing a good time. We tried many of the drinks and it is a good thing they are not strong. In many places, the loud music sends you to the door but also many courtyards are perfect.
Best place in new orleans except for borbon street!There are many restaurants breakfast places and good dive bars in the quarter.Great old place with balconys with flowers hanging down from them,plenty of shops with everything on sale, to voodoo shops which are interesting and funny,You could walk around this place for ages always something to do & see.
Really good atmosphere on weekdays with lots of live bands. Not really any blues bands except 1 place. Still had good time just walking the strip.
Really excited to be going to the French quarter. The buildings beautiful and very well kept. Loved the baskets of flowers that lots of the buildings had. Lots of bars and restaurants in all the streets. Bourbon street the most famous was a bit disappointing as there are too many girly bars for my liking making it a bit like...
