Mardi Gras World
@solofemaletravel
If you can’t experience the Mardi Gras parades firsthand in 2021, this is the closest you’ll be able to get to the live action! See the studio where all of the planning and architecture of the parade floats takes place and truly get to know the REAL Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras World is open now and doesn’t require reservations. They offer a free shuttle ride from Canal Street and you can buy tickets online.

Garden District
@solofemaletravel
The Garden District is a neighborhood full of some of the most historic homes in New Orleans. The best way to experience this area is just to wander through the streets and see how many marvelous mansions you can find. For a more in depth look at the history of the area, you can also download tours on your phone and give yourself a self-guided Garden District tour.

Swamp Tour New Orleans
@solofemaletravel
It is no surprise that there is a never-ending list of swamp tours you can embark on in New Orleans. From the flowers and the cypress trees to the gators and the exotic birds, a New Orleans Swamp Tour is a MUST when you visit.

Steamboat NATCHEZ
@solofemaletravel
Steamboat Natchez is one of the most honorable pieces of history in New Orleans. Situated on the Mississippi River, you can book two-hour jazz cruises daily and have a look at the French Quarter from a new perspective.

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
@solofemaletravel
For just $10/person (or $7 for students, seniors and military personnel), you can tour the home of the very first licensed pharmacist in the United States. Though there aren’t any guided tours going on until further notice, you are able to do self-guided tours of the first and second floors of the exhibits and courtyards.

French Quarter
@solofemaletravel
I’m sure everyone has heard of the French Quarter by now because it’s perhaps the most touristic spot in the city. From food and drinks to music and shopping, you didn’t really go to NOLA if you didn’t hit up the French Quarter.
