Architecture defines New Orleans. The famous French Quarter, with its graceful iron balconies, wooden shutters and hidden courtyards, is an icon among the country’s architectural landmarks, even as it remains a vibrant residential and commercial neighbourhood. The Quarter is famous for great live music, exquisite dining, and its proximity to one of America’s great rivers.
On the opposite side of the downtown area, the historic Garden District awaits. Visitors can walk past block after block of grand, plantation-style homes rich in the lacey ironwork and architectural detail that characterised 19th-century New Orleans.
