A Weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana

Take a quick weekend trip down south to the Crescent City, located just outside of the Bayou. Well known as the home of authentic jazz music, food for the soul, Mardi Gras parties and ghost tours, you never know what will be discovered during your visit down to New Orleans. This guide includes: šŸØ Where to Stay šŸ¦Ŗ Places to Eat ā›“ļø Things to Do and See šŸšƒ Transportation šŸŽ° Night out Activities This was my personal first trip to New Orleans and my first time to the State of Louisiana (checking off state #44!) We tried to do a mix of standard tourist stops with a bit of local favorites as well. If you're not into super touristy things, then this guide is for you.

For those driving in, there are a few, major highways that run through the area for easy access around the city.Ā 

How to Get Around

You can choose to rent a car or use ride sharing to get from the airport to downtown. If you are spending the majority of your time in the central downtown area, we'd recommend walking or using public transport (RTA buses or trolleys) Fares are cheap ($1.50 for a one way fare or $3 for a 24 hour on and off pass, and easy to use! Download the La Pass App for easy payment to ride the bus and trolly system, timetables and much more.

Just Posted: Lakeland, FL & Explore Berlin, Germany with a Local Upcoming Trips: European Summer in Zablajk, Montenegro ---------- Michigander at heart but currently traveling the world one week at a time for work. When not on the road and living out of my suitcase, I am down to spend the day exploring the local city scene or out hiking in nature. I am an adventurous spirit and try to maximize my free time exploring the hidden corners of whatever city I am in. I've been traveling all over the U.S. and Europe for nine years and crave authentic experiences at local hot spots (and sometimes the touristy faves). As a young and avid traveler (16 Countries, 45 U.S. States, 24 U.S. National Parks & numerous cities) my goal is to help you reach your travel goals - no matter the destination. On Thatch, I create super detailed guides and itineraries to destinations that I've personally visited. These destinations have a little bit of everything that I love about travel (adventure, city life, great eats, beach days and more). I can also create custom guides and itineraries to wherever you may be dreaming of traveling to. Top bucket list items: Ride in a hot air balloon, visit all 50 U.S. states, and someday be on the Amazing Race with my sister. ā€” Check out my free and paid thatch travel guides on my profile, or for a customized itinerary for any of the locations featured, shoot me a message so we can connect.
