We walked over to Jackson square after completing a cemetary tour, though we were tired, it was worth it. The awesomeness of the size and beauty immediately made an impact. The square itself is full with a variety of vendors, painters, pyschics, performers and pan-handlers, and restaurants are on all sides (we ate at haunted Muriel's) but the cathedral drowns... more

St. Louis Cathedral is absolutely beautiful inside and out. This was by far my favorite attraction I got to visit while in the French Quarter. The outside makes for a great photo op (I actually have a framed b&w of it in my bedroom), but the inside is a must see as well! more

It's a gorgeous cathedral and one of the many free things to do in New Orleans. Stroll through, take pictures, and gaze at the artwork and stained glass. A very unique landmark. more
