By day, you can relive the history of its rich European heritage by exploring the heart and soul of the city in the famous French Quarter. Block after block of cast iron balconies, music clubs, antique galleries and eclectic boutiques make this the city’s most visited area.
Just a few miles away, venture into what was once known as the “American sector,” the Garden District, and stroll through the streets lined with gracious mansions and elegant gardens. Visit the Lafayette Cemetery, the haunting grounds of Anne Rice’s Vampire Lestat.
Enjoy diverse wildlife in the moss-draped swamps of Louisiana. Take a leisurely cruise through alligator-filled swamps or jet away on an airboat adventure through the marshlands.
