Things to do in New Orleans, Louisiana (LA): The Best Architectural Buildings
Laissez les bons temps rouler! In New Orleans the good times are perpetually rolling down Bourbon Street, which, thanks to the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration, has quite a party animal reputation. Once you’ve soaked up the scenery of the historic French Quarter, tour the elegant Garden District and meet the colorful characters of Frenchmen Street. Experience the city's supernatural vibe at the Voodoo Museum or by taking a guided ghost or vampire tour through taverns, alleyways, and cemeteries.

We took a walking tour of the Garden District, past all the beautiful homes, including those of celebrities, and were thrilled to be able to enter one and take a tour. This historic house was built in 1856 and is open on a limited basis for tours, but our visit was included as part of an escorted walking tour. Only the ground floor was available to see, but it was furnished in the period style and very interesting. Gorgeous stained glass window.

The free tour was great at Sazarac House, which included the history of the bitters, the rye and some of their other offerings. Tour guide GreggT was very kind, knowledgeable and made sure to include lemonade for our under aged family member. Their COVID protective measures are high and appreciated. If you love or hunt whiskey, this is a must stop.

The Miltenberger House is more beautiful in person than viewing in a photo. The authenticity of the house and the capture of the lace iron work depicts true NOLA architecture style. A must see when in NOLA!
