About New Orleans
New Orleans tempts visitors from all over the world with its legendary combination of cuisine, entertainment and southern architecture. It doesn't have to be Mardi Gras for New Orleans to throw a party, as you'll see with a visit to the French Quarter. Preservation Hall, perhaps Americas most historic music hall, offers an evening of Dixeland jazz, while the district's antique stores, Creole cuisine and colorful street life all make New Orleans a favorite stop.
New Orleans Attractions
You can't say you've been to New Orleans if you haven't been to the French Quarter. This charming area is the oldest part of the city and home to many of its most popular sights.
In addition, as you walk through the city, you can visit one of over 45 New Orleans museums and discover a world of fine art, history, culture, Mardi Gras, military, and nature.
New Orleans Activities
Explore lively Bourbon Street and experience New Orleans' Southern hospitality firsthand. Take in some of the best jazz music in the world, while enjoying the unique cuisine of New Orleans - crawdads, gumbo or jambalaya.
Head to the Garden District and check out some of the beautiful homes and architecture.
Join a famous after-dark Vampire Walking Tour for a fun and thrilling night out.
The village of White Castle sits in the shadow of a levee on the Mississippi River, in the middle of Louisiana's Plantation Country. Nearby Nottoway Plantation is the big draw to White Castle, and it stands apart as the largest intact plantation in the South. White Castle is not named for Nottoway, but for a namesake plantation home that was removed due to flooding; White Castle Plantation's original site now sits below the Mississippi River.
Explore "The Myrtles - America's Most Haunted House" and the beautifully restored Butler Greenwood Plantation. Then walk through St. Francisville, enjoying its charming churches, antique stores, and historic buildings.
Be amazed by one of the oldest cities on the Mississippi, founded in 1716. See antebellum and Victorian structures that sit high on a bluff. Explore the historical Frogmore Plantation and its rare cotton gin.
Explore sprawling Vicksburg National Military Park, with its battlefields, statues, and monuments to soldiers from both the North and South. A moving experience.
The Mississippi River is the largest river of North America, draining with its major tributaries an area of approximately 1.2 million sq mi (3.1 million sq km), or about one-eighth of the entire continent. The Mississippi River lies entirely in the United States. Rising in Lake Itasca in Minnesota, it flows almost due south across the continental interior, collecting the waters of its major tributaries, the Missouri River (to the west) and the Ohio River (to the east), approximately halfway along its journey to the Gulf of Mexico through a vast delta southeast of New Orleans, a total distance of 2,350 mi.
Memphis is a city in the southwest corner of the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Shelby County.
