Located in the southeastern region in the state of Louisiana, New Orleans is a bustling metropolis known for its unique culture, thriving music and art scene, dialects, and delectable Creole cuisine. The city is famous for its annual celebration of Mardi Gras. The French Quarter is located in the heart of the city that is the most popular attraction. It is touted as the ‘most unique’ in the United States and ‘Hollywood South’ owing to its unique role in film production.
The South is known for its hot weather, lakes and swamps, and the city of New Orleans is no exception. A relatively hot and sticky city, only the bravest of souls travel to New Orleans during the summer months of July and August when 100-degree (Fahrenheit) temperatures and almost 100% humidity come out to play. When considering what to do in New Orleans, try your luck from February to May for the most pleasant weather.
Finding your way through New Orleans is relatively painless thanks to good transport links and a compact city centre. The city centre can be navigated on foot. However, if you're tired, streetcars (trams) are your best bet, with services running regularly each day. Save your hard-earned dollars and opt for a bicycle over a car hire during your New Orleans day tours. With so many architectural gems to take in, and neighborhoods residing close together, bike riding is the best way to get from A to B quickly and sightsee along the way too.
New Orleans is a relatively safe city, though it’s always good to keep your wits about you when visiting a new destination. Keep these travel tips in tow so your trip can go off without a hitch. Scam artists operate throughout New Orleans, and while engaging with locals is a must, do be sure to keep your wits about you. If something seems off, it usually is. As always, keep all your personal belongings safe and secure when in the busy city centre or known tourist sites. Dial 911 in an emergency.
