Attractions
While in New Orleans be sure to stroll down Bourbon Street in the French Quarter historical district. There is much more than bars here, take a carriage ride to see the lesser known beauty of the city and hit the side streets for a true view of unique shops and culture.In the Garden District, many of the old plantation homes give us a glimpse into the past. Self guided walking tours are available along with carriage rides and bus tours.
A must see for the ghost seekers are the Cities of the Dead graveyard tours. The city is known for their vaults in the 42 different cemeteries, as the dead cannot be buried underground due to the high water table. Pirates, politicians, and voodoo queens including Marie Laveau capture the interest of many. One of the most popular ways to see many of the cemeteries is the Cemetery/Gris Gris tour by Gray Line.
Other must see places to tour are The National D-Day Museum, Mardi Gras World or take a ride on the Steamboat Natchez Riverboat Cruise.
