Beautiful, gorgeous district - a must-visit while in New Orleans. Gorgeous mansions, landscaping, trees! Easy to get to by public tram, or trolley, what-ever it is called; buy a $3 pass for the whole day - better value. Also it is a good idea to join a walking tour for $20 per person. They really give you a lot of...

We did the self tour of this area and found it interesting, long and a little hot, even with lots of big trees. Saw Sandra Bullock's house as well as Nicholas Cage. Lots of nice homes. Lafayette Cemetary here was closed at 2:30 so we missed it. Definitely worth the walk, as was the historic streetcar, to see some very...

Took trolley ride -St Charles line - from Canal St through Garden District. Lovely ride with view of lovely homes and you can get off at Tulane Un., Loyola, zoo, etc. If you want to spend more time getting around NO check on a day pass for $3.00 see if it fits your needs. Was warned that the lines run...

The trolleys are clean, efficient and I think one has...

Went to the Garden District on the streetcar and picked up a self guided tour brochure when we were having coffee there. Then we took ourselves around the streets, gawking at the beautiful, quirky and old houses, in the rain of course, but it added to the atmosphere!

This part of NOLA is very beautiful. The houses are enormous and full of charm. It doesn't take very long to walk the entire district so you can take it slow. Be sure to stop at Sucre and try some Coconut Basil gelato!
