TRIPS FOR EVERY TRAVELER Whatever your interest, New Orleans has a special themed getaway just for you. FIRST-TIMER On your first visit to New Orleans, the French Quarter is a must! Stroll through Jackson Square, eat beignets at Café Du Monde, have a muffuletta at Napoleon House, and soak up live jazz. Eat your way through NOLA with red beans and rice, boiled crawfish, gumbo, and pralines. Visit world-class museums like The National WWII Museum or take a ride on a historic streetcar. One visit is just not enough to experience New Orleans to the fullest – but it’s a start! BUDGET Visiting on a budget? Fear not, we’ve got plenty of free activities and cheap eats. The Besthoff Sculpture Garden and Sazerac House both have free admission and are worth every minute. Hungry? Check out happy hours like Superior Seafood’s $1.25 oyster special. Discounted hotel packages are available yearround, and the key to big savings is a midweek visit. LUXURY Celebrating a special occasion or just in the mood to treat yourself? Book a room at the Four Seasons Hotel, The Windsor Court, or The Roosevelt for the ultimate luxury experience and indulge in a trip to the hotel spa. Book a private cooking class or try out a perfume-making class at Tijon. VIP experiences are also available at just about any festival in town. GIRLFRIEND GETAWAY New Orleans is the place for a girls’ trip. Break away from Bourbon Street and find live music on Frenchmen Street just outside the French Quarter. Pamper yourselves with a spa day or tea party, or take the adventurous route and book a swamp, ghost, biking, or culinary tour. Don’t forget to carve out some time for shopping on Magazine Street and at Canal Place. ROMANTIC Whether it’s your honeymoon or simply a romantic getaway, New Orleans is bursting with charm. Check into your room at a boutique hotel, then stroll along tree-lined Esplanade Avenue or hop on the ferry to Algiers for a quaint evening out. Live jazz in the French Quarter is a perfect way to end the day in this romantic city. BUILD YOUR PERFECT TRIP!
