    Great place to see local art

    The heart of New Orleans. Artists line the fence, bands are playing, and you can watch street performers.

    This is a very nice place to just take a break, take things in, take a breath, between the busy French Quarter and French Market areas.

    A "Must See Once" Location in America

    Jackson Square is one of those classic places in America that everybody should see once. We went in November which was perfect - not hot and not too crowded. The carriage rides pick up on the river side of the park. All around the outside...More

    Tourist Central

    This is the iconic center of the French Quarter. Flanking the Cathedral is the State Museum of Louisiana. They offered some interesting insights into the history of this beautiful city. The display on Katrina was very moving.

    If there is a place you should not miss in New Orleans, this is it. Lots of history, many street entertainers just in front of the Cathedral, lots of foot on the water front.

    French Quarter

    lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty
    Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port
    of call for folks in search of a good time and a great
    story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs
    across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied
    around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively

    It’s $40 a person no reservation required just hop on and ride. Ours was an hour and included a visit to the cemetery and a great tour guide named Brandon. Well worth it!

    The square itself is open everyday, 8am to 7pm. Most shops and restaurants around the square are open much later.
