Car needed in New Orleans?
First time visit and wondering if a car is needed in NO, we'll be staying for a long weekend and not sure if we should get a car? Thought maybe we'd try a plantation or swamp tour or some other interesting things that might not be right in NO.
Staying right off of Canal St, if we have a car is there street parking of reasonable]y priced lots to park in?
thanks for any advise

Hi vacaman2,
A car is not NEEDED for New Orleans; I've visited on a few occasions without a car, staying in the Garden District and having a great time (the French Quarter or Faubourg Marigny tend to be preferred by the car-less visitors). Without a car, you can potentially do a swamp tour or a plantation with an organized tour (such as Gray Line).
This said, if you want to visit outside of the city (such as a plantation) on your own schedule, a car will be necessary.
Have a great trip! Daniel
