13 days in New Orleans Itinerary

Known for its Creole cuisine, rich musical tradition, and nearby swamps and plantations, New Orleans is one of the nation's oldest cities.

For shopping fun, head to Jamie Hayes Gallery or Royal Street. Do some cultural sightseeing at Whitney Plantation and Immaculate Conception Church. Venture out of the city with trips to Walter Anderson Museum of Art (in Ocean Springs), Abita Brewing Company (in Abita Springs) and Baton Rouge (Louisiana's Old State Capitol, USS Kidd, & more). And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Faubourg Marigny, put a fun spin on your tour with Escape My Room New Orleans, look for gifts at Hex: Old World Witchery, and see the interesting displays at New Orleans Pharmacy Museum.
