Every corner of New Orleans exudes a love of food, music and life itself. Home of jazz and famous for both cocktails and food, the Spanish, French, African and Caribbean influences create a distinctive combo that makes this city a very attractive destination. The French Quarter is famous in New Orleans. The French-inspired and colorful buildings, the flowers, the music, the bars, the street performers, the stores... everything in the French Quarter is incredible, very lively and cheerful. An almost perfect representation of what an urban park is, the City Park responds to a landscape, slightly domesticated, of the forest and wetlands typical of Louisiana. In addition to an amusement park, it offers botanical gardens that house specimens of flora from Louisiana and the rest of the world. The most emblematic and photographed place in the park is the Peristyle, a classic pavilion with Japanese columns built in 1907 overlooking Metaire Bayou. Another charming spot is the Carousel Gardens, around a lovingly restored antique carousel housed in a 1906 glass structure. New Orleans is known as the birthplace of craft cocktails, and the Sazerac House takes guests on an interactive journey to explore its rich history. Enjoy free self-guided tours of the museum's three-story exhibit, participate in free samples of the house libations and learn more about New Orleans culture through cocktails, starting with the iconic Sazerac. Although the French Quarter is the most touristy, the real jazz in New Orleans can be found in other neighborhoods, such as Marigny. On Frenchmen Street you'll find authentic venues where locals go when they want to enjoy a good time of live music. The Mississippi River is probably one of the most famous rivers in the United States. New Orleans was founded on the banks of this river so there is the possibility of taking a steamboat tour for the full experience. Travel to New Orleans is quite expensive on average.
