What people say

Brandon Roertgen
"Scheduled for arrival in the mid-to-late evening, the Crescent terminates at the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. NOUPT is located right next door to the homes of the Pelicans (NBA) and Saints (NFL) and about a 15-20 minute walk to Bourbon Street. Walk?! Fret not, there are connections to the New Orleans Streetcar system near the station. Flying into Louis Armstrong International Airport? There is public transit from the airport to the train station, but plan for anywhere between 30 mins and an hour to make the trip. NOUPT also serves Amtrak’s City of New Orleans (to Chicago via Jackson, MS & Memphis) and Sunset Limited (to Los Angeles via Houston & San Antonio) routes as well as the Mardi Gras (to Mobile - coming soon!)."
"A trip to New Orleans isn't complete without a walk down Bourbon street. Start at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar (the oldest bar in the US) then work you way down Bourbon street. Pace yourself, drink water, have appetizers, and enjoy the live music."
"The iconic street for all things fun no matter the time of year. Historic eateries, bars, night clubs, there is something for everyone. I personally wouldn't recommend bringing children as there isn't much to do here for them. "
