New Orleans is known for a host of attributes like its famous Creole food, abundant alcohol, music of many styles, nearby swamps and plantations, 18th & 19th century architecture, antiques, gay pride, streetcars, museums. Nicknamed the Big Easy, New Orleans has long had a reputation as an adult oriented city. However, the city also offers many attractions for families with children and those interested in culture and the arts.
"Let the good times roll" is what they say here in the Big Easy, and you too can do that with a cool stroll down Bourbon Street, a hot Dixieland band, and even hotter Creole cuisine. Here you can take Walking tours including voodoo, jazz history, French Quarter, or Garden District ones and Bicycle Tours for history, architecture, or hurricane damage.
Take a riverboat cruise down the Mississippi, munch on some beignets, and watch the Saints go marchin' in. Take a streetcar ride down Charles Avenue, the oldest streetcar in the US, visit the National World War 2 Museum, or test your luck at Harrah’s Casino. There’s also good antique shopping in Royal St in the Quarter, cooking classes to teach you the secrets of Creole and Cajun cooking and the famous Mardi Gras World, with thousands of sensational sculptured props and giant figures -- it's the place where Mardi Gras floats are made.
Make sure you include the Big Easy on your next trip to the US.
