What to do and see in New Orleans, Louisiana (LA): The Best Visitor Centers

January 2, 2022 Myesha Cogley

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.

My hotel was right around the corner from the Basin Street Station and I'd been left off at the station after a cemetery tour I'd participated in. What a nice place! They have a hop on hop off tour and loads of information available for visitors! Also some lovely train displays!
