Day 1
- French Quarter on Foot (French Quarter)
Have beignets at Cafe du Monde early, then walk Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market, and the riverfront Moonwalk. Detour onto Royal Street for galleries and street musicians, and save Bourbon Street for an evening look. Tip: drinks can go outside in the Quarter, but only in plastic cups, never glass.
Day 2
- Garden District and Frenchmen Street (Garden District)
Ride the St. Charles streetcar to the Garden District for a self-guided walk past historic mansions, check whether Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 has reopened after restoration, and browse Magazine Street. At night, hear live jazz in the small clubs on Frenchmen Street. Tip: a Jazzy Pass covers unlimited streetcar and bus rides.
Day 3
- New Orleans Food and Bayou Option (New Orleans)
Start with a po'boy, then choose a guided swamp tour (most include hotel pickup), a drive to a River Road plantation, or a city day at the National WWII Museum plus St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, which you can only enter with a licensed guide. End with a Creole or Cajun dinner. Tip: book swamp tours for the morning, when wildlife is most active.
