Things To Do

Here are some things to do while staying in New Orleans! We included our favorite restaurants, museums, and bars along with some additional activities to fill your time!

New Orleans Hop-on Hop-off Tour Bus

Don't wanna walk around and sightsee? Try the Hop-on Hop-off tour bus! With different stops all along the city, enjoy getting from place to place while learning about the Big Easy! Highly recommended for first time visitors to get a feel of the city's layout and the history!

St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square

615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116

We find that the best time to enjoy the famous Cathedral and Jackson Square park is during an early morning stroll!

French Market

Time to get your shopping done! Step into the hustle and bustle of the French Market and grab your souvenirs at a deal!

Old Absinthe House - Bar

240 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70112

We loved this place and found it to be a fun little stop right on the corner near the hotel! Highly recommend stopping here at some point and trying out one of their absinthe drinks.

There are multiple of these in New Orleans, but this one had the best Americano in my opinion.
