There is not much space, people are taking photos everywhere and outside the fence are ugly buildings. But still it turns you back in time and there is something mysthic in the air

We walked to the cemetery from Hilton Garden Inn on a friday morning . Only about a 10 min walk. Safe and close. You can get a self guided tour map and description of notable graves at the visitor center. Self guided is free and we were able to listen in on some of the guided tours info. Whole tour... More

We did not know that the cemeteries closed at noon on Sunday so our visit to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 was cut extremely short; however, what we did get to see was really impressive. I was amazed that what appeared as new tomes were stacked right up against centuries old ones.

worth the trip. fascinating cemetery with lots of history. i could have spent more time here exploring.

If you take the Free Tours of the Garden District and the cemetery you learn so many interesting facts about how people were and are buried in New Orleans

Took a walking tour. We learned how the crypts are used which was interesting because even those that only hold 2 coffins were used for entire families. We say Marie Laveau's grave. A lot of the crypts are crumbling because no one cares for them. Also got to see Nicholas Cage's pyramid.

Take a tour it makes it so much more intresting. Not only was the tour of the cemetery but also about the town of NOLA Got a discount tour from groupon

The cemeteries in New Orleans are above ground. Wander the grounds reading the inscriptions. Better still, take a tour. There are free tours available (you tip the guide).

This place is good if you grab a tour guide. I wouldn't necessarily go on my own. And be ready for a walk. It takes about two hours.
