Arriving in New Orleans
New Orleans is a city with real soul, an exuberant, infectious sort of place where music fills the air every night of the week. Festivals and parades are a regular occurrence, with the highlights including Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, though in truth a festival atmosphere pervades the city year round.
Our tip
This is not a place to rush around and see everything – it is somewhere to people watch and get involved. Take it slow – this is the ‘Big Easy’ after all.
