Visitor Essentials
Getting Around: Walking in compact neighborhoods; streetcar for St. Charles/Canal routes; rideshare and taxis readily available; parking can be challenging in French Quarter.
Travel Tips: Book restaurants in advance, especially for Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras. Carry cash for street performers and small venues. Stay hydrated in summer heat.
Accommodations: French Quarter for atmosphere and walkability; Garden District for elegance; Warehouse District for modern luxury; Marigny for local flavor.
Safety & Etiquette: Stay aware in tourist areas; don't venture alone into unfamiliar neighborhoods at night; tipping is essential—musicians, servers, and tour guides depend on it.
New Orleans for All: Many historic buildings lack full accessibility, but major attractions accommodate all visitors. The city celebrates diversity and welcomes everyone to the party.
London is a city of layers—historic, modern, royal, and rebellious. But with over 1,500 square miles to explore, the "Big Smoke" can feel overwhelming for even the most seasoned traveler. While the Tube is efficient, you spend half your trip underground staring at a tunnel wall.
