My favorite places in the French Quarter are a few streets off Bourbon & towards the river. I truly enjoy wondering & seeing all the different types of architecture, going into the little shoppes & the hole in the wall restaurants are the best finds. More

It would not be New Orleans if you did not take a stroll down the French Quarter. Lots of fun! More

Definitely a party at night and a great time. If you want to explore and take in the beautiful buildings, get up early before the crowds arrive. I started with breakfast at Cafe du Monde, so early that the chairs were still on the tables, when I left there was a line down the block waiting to get in! More

A great mix of character both human and architectural that can easily be walked. Lots of entertainment music,bars and eateries to suit ALL tastes. The French/Spanish history oozes out and just adds to the charm. More

Well, you can't go to NOLA without going to the French Quarter. A great place to wander and people watch. We took the touristy carriage tour after a bunch of locals told us it was one of their favorite things to do. I recommend it. Just don't miss the rest of the city - there's much more to NOLA than...

The French Quarter was so much more than just Bourbon Street. There we so many unique shops to visit, beautiful architecture, and friendly people...along with fantastic food everywhere. Truly worth the visit! More

So much fun. Got hammered with a hand grenade, three (maybe more) shots, and some other drinks that I can't remembered. It's like an adult themed street carnival 24/7. Locals are very friendly, but don't forget to tip them! More
