Don't just walk through it, take a guided tour and learn the history behind this beautiful cemetery. Find Jay! He does a city tour and is very knowledgeable.

By all means visit this interesting place and hear the stories of the many famous folks who rest here. This cemetery is usually on the French Qtr walking tours.

You need a tour guide to get in, but it's worth the visit. Learned so much about New Orleans culture, history, and more. Who knew you could do that in a little cemetery?

St. Louis Cemetery #3 is located at 425 Basin St. in The Treme neighborhood. This is where the infamous voodoo queen Marie Laveau is buried. This is also the oldest cemetery in New Orleans built in 1789. You must have a tour guide to enter...More

This was very different and interesting.Basically mauseleums for families above ground burials that were placed in a cement box and later when the body had lost its moisture content the bones were slotted into the mausoleum

I am absolutely intrigued by the old cemeteries in NOLA! Fascinating to walk through and see what I have seen for years in movies! Must do while in NOLA!

It's sad that I cold only get in with a tour, and didn't have any time to visit and photograph the tombs, but the two short tours I took were great. Beautiful tombs. My only wish is that I had more time.
