This is especially true in NOLA. Thanks to its antique port and rich history, the town has an almost overwhelming amount of must-try foods like&nbsp;\u00e9touff\u00e9e (shellfish over rice). Everyone knows to start with a trip to Cafe du Monde for its famous beignets, but&nbsp;we also suggest making stops at places like Domilise\u2019s for a Fried Shrimp Po-Boy, Mother\u2019s for some jambalaya, <a href=\"https:\/\/lorettaspralines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Loretta\u2019s Authentic Pralines<\/a> for a praline beignet, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/centralgrocery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Central Grocery &amp; Deli<\/a> for a Muffuletta sandwich. Pro tip: Pair that sandwich with an Abita beer from the liquor store a few doors down. Feeling overwhelmed? Opt for a food tour, which can offer a great sampling of the legendary eats to be had around town.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get witchy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For those hoping to inject some actual magic in their magical trip, New Orleans is a spectacular place to peek into the arcane and metaphysical arts. From tarot readings to authentic voodoo shops, one could very easily burn a lengthy afternoon with a mini witchery tour and never have to venture too far from the French Quarter. Whether you\u2019re a believer or just a little curious, to ignore this part of Louisiana\u2019s culture and history would definitely be doing yourself a disservice, especially if it\u2019s something legit mystical you\u2019re craving.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Check out a festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_33501\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33501\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/voodoo-festival-new-orleans.jpg\" alt=\"New Orleans Voodoo Festival\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/voodoo-festival-new-orleans.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/voodoo-festival-new-orleans-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/voodoo-festival-new-orleans-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/voodoo-festival-new-orleans-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33501\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Orleans Voodoo Festival<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Anyone remotely familiar with the city knows parades are a common occurrence; you might even get pulled into one happening for something as trivial as someone\u2019s birthday. It should come as no surprise that festivals are nothing to scoff at either. Beyond the much heralded Mardi Gras and Jazz fests, you&#8217;ll find the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in October, the French Quarter Festival in April, Satchmo Summer Fest in August, and many more.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get jazzy and bluesy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The music scene in New Orleans is vast. While the Crescent City is literally where jazz was born, it would be impossible to nail down any one musical genre that gives this town the captivating vibes it has. There are many ways to take in all of the blues and jazz to be found here, but our hands-down favorite is bar hopping the live music venues along Frenchman Street. You never know exactly what you\u2019ll find other than that it\u2019s going to be a wholly mesmerizing and enthralling night out. Of course, that\u2019s not to leave out all of the museums, festivals, concerts and spectacular events devoted to jazz and blues.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Support local artists and artisans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019ll only take about half a day before a tourist here will be dying to figure out a way to take some of that dreamy N&#8217;awlins feeling home with them. A potion or charm from a witchcraft shop is a fun place to start, but the amount of local artisans makes it very easy for anyone trying to step up their souvenir game. A visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palacemarketnola.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palace Market<\/a> on Frenchmen Street is the perfect place to begin getting an idea of the wares they have available. Everything from unique works of art and handcrafted instruments to interesting textiles and body products can be found. Once you\u2019ve finished here, waiting around every corner are&nbsp;tons of local shops covering nearly every interest imaginable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Travel by streetcar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_33502\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33502\" class=\"wp-image-33502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/streetcar-new-orleans.jpg\" alt=\"Streetcars in New Orleans\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/streetcar-new-orleans.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/streetcar-new-orleans-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/streetcar-new-orleans-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/streetcar-new-orleans-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Streetcars in New Orleans<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Wanna talk about a sentimental way to get around, how does getting to your destination by streetcar sound to you? Though I won\u2019t speak to how long it takes the average local to lose their appreciation for the whimsy of traveling by trolley, I can\u2019t really think of anything that gives me the vibes that seeing one trek down St. Charles Avenue does. While the line won\u2019t necessarily take you right to the doorstep of where you might be going, it can be used as the primary line to at least get to almost any area\u2014not too shabby when you consider you\u2019re getting some fun out of the trip as well.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Set aside a night for the ghosts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As New Orleans can boast a spot on basically every list of the most haunted cities in America, dedicating an evening to their past citizens just makes sense. If it\u2019s your first time visiting the city, we recommend starting with one of the famous walking tours. Although it\u2019s not quite something we would aspire to do on every visit, it definitely feels like a rite of passage (for tourists, anyway). As for which ones to take, there&#8217;s a surprising amount of variety. There are cemetery tours, haunted pub crawls, neighborhood tours and even ones via Segway or limo, to name a few.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Take an afternoon to appreciate the swamp<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_33504\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33504\" class=\"wp-image-33504 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/new-orleands-swamp-tour.jpg\" alt=\"New Orleans Swamp Tours\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/new-orleands-swamp-tour.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/new-orleands-swamp-tour-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/new-orleands-swamp-tour-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/new-orleands-swamp-tour-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33504\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bayou country<\/p><\/div>\n<p>New Orleans is a city in a swamp and the bayou is definitely worth exploring.

Those who enjoy taking in nature in a more low-key way should make their way to the enigmatic Barataria Preserve Trails, about 17 miles from downtown. Here, you can enjoy walking paths and hiking trails ranging from a quarter-mile to a full 1.8-mile loop. Depending on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/jela\/upload\/BARA-Trail-Map-Feb-2015-info-side.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&nbsp;path chosen<\/a>, onlookers can stroll wooden walkways mere feet above the water, read informational plaques featuring the history and nature of the area, spot seasonal wildflowers, and enjoy a panoramic outlook over the marsh.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Don\u2019t miss anything!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To suggest that this list gets close to covering everything there is to do in this amazing city would be pretty unjust.
