This cemetary was walking distance from Bourbon street but the neighborhood was a little iffy. Definetly go down St. Louis over Conti to get there. It's fairly small. You can see Nicholas Cage's future burial site (completely ridiculous if you ask me). If you can't get to Lafayette then definetly try to make it here. Well worth it.

Creepy,with a thick, thick,THICK atmosphere of otherworldly presences. Im not big into that stuff, and never have had any ghost experiences of my own, but the feelings here are so saturated with death and decay. Its almost like you are being watched when you are there. Such history! This is a must do. Maybe not every trip but at least... More

Quick walk from the French Quarter, very nice New Orleans visitors center around the corner. We visited with Strange True Tours, and it was fascinating. You would be perfectly safe going without a tour during the day, but you would miss out on a lot. In addition to Nicholas Cage's tomb, you'll see the huge Italian tomb featured in one... More

I loved seeing this cemetary. It had a very eerie feel to it knowing the bodies were all above ground. It's like a maze of tombs.

Great history and wonderful photo opportunities. Love it and I always bring offerings to the voodoo queen.

Take a camera!!! "BUT DO NOT GO ALONG" it in a part of town. Stay close to the people you went with. The famous Voodoo Queen is buried her "Marie Laveau, and her daughter is also buried her name is the same as her mother. There is a tomb built for Nicholas Cage. All the Tombs are all very interesting.... More

Cool place! I've always wanted to go to a cemetary in New Orleans, and this is the one to visit. It's right downtown, off of St. Louis street. There is a lot of history here. You can get a tour guide, which can be a little safer, since there are signs posted regarding muggers hiding in the cemetary. We merely... More

A little creepy but a must see. A couple of famous people are buried here. Look at the names on the tombstone and you'll discover who they are. Not a place we would spend a lot of time but would recommend you visit. It's interesting to note the history of this place.

We've checked out a few of New Orleans' cemeteries. St. Louis #1 has the most interesting vibe for sure. The rest? Well I guess it's a great place for a dirt nap!
