⭐S. Charles Streetcar - Canal @ Carondelet
@TbisTer
Where to ride the famous St.Charles Streetcar. Go to the corner of Canal Street and Carondelet Street (Carondelet is the same street as Bourbon; all streets change names when they cross Canal). The stop is on Carondelet, in front of the side windows of the Lady Foot Locker store that's right at the corner. You'll see the small yellow street sign marking it, and there's usually a group of people waiting right there. You can also catch the car at St. Charles Street and Common Street (Royal on the other side of Canal), the next stop on the line. The stop is in front of the PJ's Coffee on the ground floor of the Royal St. Charles Hotel. Sometimes this stop can be slightly less chaotic, as there are fewer people exiting the streetcar here, though sometimes the streetcar can already be full, so it's a trade-off.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tom Isbister
Available for hire
Born from a passion for exploration, out of Toronto. Travel has taken me all over North America and Europe! I've gotten the opportunity to leave Canada, and live in Finland, Germany, and Poland. At the same time, having traveled to 18 countries!
From those opportunities, I started crafting and sharing my maps which I feel provide a sense of exploration and recommendations that others can use to create their own memorable experiences. This led me to create Abroad&Co. Each map is handcrafted, both from personal experience and local recommendations. They're a go-to way to learn what each new place you visit has to offer.
Whether it's to help plan a dream trip abroad or explore more of what your own backyard has to offer, check out my collection of ready-to-go maps or let me create one for yourself.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, additions, or corrections at (thomas.abroadandco@gmail.com).
