Main Attractions in New Orleans
Start your visit by taking the streetcar to the French Quarter. A walk through the street gives you the opportunity to admire the lacy, wrought-iron balconies or to be mesmerized by a street musician playing on the Moonwalk across from Jackson Square. One of the main attractions of the area is the Old U.S.
Travel Tips in New Orleans
New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is 11 miles (18km) west of the city center in Kenner. For getting to and from the airport most visitors rely on Airport Shuttle whose tickets are available from agents in the baggage area below the arrival gates. Taxi service to downtown is relatively cheap if you have two or more in your party. Taxis queue on the lower level just outside the baggage claim area.
