Bourbon Street is a major destination for nightlife, while Jackson Square and the historic French Market offer opportunities to discover the city's cultural roots.

Music is an essential part of life in New Orleans, with jazz performances filling clubs and venues across the city. Its culinary traditions are equally distinctive, from hearty gumbo and jambalaya to po'boys and freshly made beignets. Visitors can admire the elegant homes of the Garden District, ride a historic streetcar along St. Charles Avenue, or explore the exhibits at the National WWII Museum. The city's famous Mardi Gras festivities bring colorful parades and celebrations each year, while the Mississippi River and nearby bayous reveal another side of Louisiana's landscape.
