New Orleans
New Orleans Travel Guide
New Orleans is synonymous with indulgence. Few American cities pack in so much food, music, nightlife, and history -- locals are passionate about it all. Culture is the city's calling card, and the best way to experience it is to dive right in. The spiritual heart of New Orleans is the French Quarter, where the city was settled by the French in 1718. You can easily spend several days visiting museums, shops, and eateries in this area. Yet the rest of the city's neighborhoods, radiating out from this focal point, also make for rewarding rambling. The mansion-lined streets of the Garden District and Uptown, the aboveground cemeteries that dot the city, and the open air along Lake Pontchartrain provide a nice balance to the frenzy of the Quarter.
