Our tips for New Orleans

  • Weeknight sessions are always a good idea. Don’t limit your nights out to the standard Friday and Saturday, there are more things to do in New Orleans on a weeknight than on a weekend in a city with ten times the population. Avoid the New Orleans sightseeing riff-raff found on the weekends and head out Monday to Thursday for a more authentic night here.
  • Enjoy the great outdoors. Louisiana is home to some epic natural wonders. Be sure to snap up a New Orleans day trip to the swamps and bayous beyond the city. The swamps’ murky waters are home to 10-ft long alligators, poisonous snakes and lots more.
  • Do voodoo. No New Orleans day trip is complete without discovering the spookier side of the city. The former home and final resting place of Marie Laveau, the world-renowned ‘Queen of Voodoo’ put the St Louis Cemetery on your New Orleans attractions hit list.
