| Welcome to New Orleans |
|
Welcome to New Orleans, the Jazz heritage city of the world.
The New Orleans experience is defined by the cultural riches, sensual indulgences and unique service that continue to flourish as they have for centuries. It is where European traditions blend with Caribbean influences with colorful local architecture and an exotic and spicy cuisine that Haitian and African Creoles have developed. Although New Orleans had a catastrophic disaster by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the most celebrated and historic core of the city – including the French Quarter, Central Business District, Warehouse and Arts District, Garden District, Audubon Park and Zoo and St. Charles Avenue – is thriving. In fact, Gray Line offers a tour of the Katrina Impact (click below “Places of Interest”).
New Orleans is surrounded by water, the Mississippi river on one side and lake Ponchatrain. The river offers short and long cruises that explore the bank of the Mississippi river with boats offering dinners, dance and gambling.
Whether you are a music lover, antiques lover, food adventurer or just love to see something different, come to New Orleans. For more information click here.
