Getting Around

Iconic pictures of New Orleans include streetcars, and while you might want to hop on one for a fun day of sightseeing, you'll need a more efficient way to get around regularly. Rent a car to explore Louisiana to the fullest, or rent a bicycle to cruise around the French Quarter. Taxis and rideshare services are also available in town.

Best time to Visit

Let's be honest: many people don't care about weather, room rates or high and low season when they travel to New Orleans. They're only in it for Mardi Gras. If that's you, you'll need to come in February, but be prepared for sky-high prices. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, in sweltering April and May, sees another tourism peak. If you're open to a quieter experience, book your trip for December or January instead.

What to Pack

There are some essential items you'll probably feel lost without in New Orleans, given the humid weather conditions and the absolute necessity of partying at least some of the time. Here are a few:

  • Insect repellant: Biting creatures are drawn to New Orleans like... well, like mosquitos to blood. Spoil their fun.
  • Going-out clothes: New Orleans' nightlife is super-cool, so aim to look the part. Pack some creative and interesting outfits, but don't overdress and wear your best dancing shoes.
  • Earplugs: You might need a night off from partying but that doesn't mean the party stops for everyone else.
