Few of them have been around for hundreds of years (the bright colored ones with iron and woodwork) while the newer ones have contemporary or mid-century modern architectural style!
Uninterrupted Live Music
Whether you are a jazz fan or a pop music fan, New Orleans will never disappoint you! This 'Birthplace of Jazz' has innumerable concert venues with cheap entry fees and there's a festival happening every now and then in the city!
The Spookiness
There was a time when the city was rather lawless and pirates used to roam around the place, creating chaos, giving rise to a lot of folklore! If you aren't weak-hearted and love a bit of adventure, then book your tickets to one of the haunted history and ghost tours.
Never-ending Nightlife
With 24 hours running cabarets, bars, and dance clubs serving delicious food and hosting live music and theatre shows, who has the time for sleep in the city?
Festival Haven
With so many free festivals such as the Creole Tomato Festival, the French Quarter Festival, the Satchmo Festival and so on, you won't have a dull moment in the city!
The Museums
Though known for its party culture, the town does have a good number of museums such as the New Orleans Museum of Art, the World War II Museum, and the like.
Swamp Adventures
As the city lies below sea-level, there are a lot of swamps outside the city! Grab a seat at one of the swamp tours, guided boat rides or simply enjoy yourself at one of the fishing or kayaking spots!
Amazing Hospitality
You will be floored by the hospitality of New Orleanians! Good humor with affectionate and welcoming nature makes every tourist 'feel at home' while visiting the city!
The essence of the city is perfectly summed up by Judy Deck in the quote:
“If there was no New Orleans, America would just be a bunch of free people dying of boredom.”
