Tips for Adventure

Go to Frenchmen Street for Music

While Bourbon Street is for partying, Frenchmen Street is where locals and music lovers go to hear the best live jazz.

Explore Magazine Street

For a more local shopping and dining experience, stroll the six miles of Magazine Street, lined with boutiques, antique shops, and fine restaurants.

Let Yourself Go (Laissez les bons temps rouler)

The town's unofficial phrase is 'let the good times roll.' The local culture is relaxed and hedonistic. Don't rush, enjoy the moment.

You can drink on the street

It is legal to consume alcoholic beverages on the street, as long as they are in a plastic cup or 'go-cup'. No glass bottles or cans allowed.

Hydrate and Protect Yourself from the Sun

The heat and humidity can be intense. Drink plenty of water, use sunscreen, and seek shade during the hottest hours of the day.

Use Mosquito Repellent

Especially if you plan to visit the parks or take a tour of the swamps, mosquito repellent is your friend.

Stay in Lighted and Busy Areas

At night, stick to the main, well-lit streets of the French Quarter or Frenchmen Street. Avoid walking alone on dark or unknown streets.

Beware of Common Scams

Beware of the 'I bet I can tell you where you got your shoes' scam, where they clean your shoes and then demand an exorbitant payment.
