And I highly recommend spending an afternoon wandering in one of them. They all have ponds, walking paths, trees and plenty of space to relax with a book or have a picnic. They're a great place to unwind when it's too hot and you want to relax in the shade (or when you need a break after a long day of walking). Covering more than 350 acres, Audubon Park is a former plantation that was a staging area for Confederate and Union troops during the Civil War and the site of the 1884-1885 World's Fair. City Park is a vast green space covering more than 1,300 acres (50% larger than New York's Central Park and one of the largest urban parks in the United States). City Park features attractions such as Centennial Oaks, the New Orleans Botanical Garden, the New Orleans Museum of Art, cafes and restaurants. Because it's so big, it's a popular place for cycling (there are bike rental facilities in the park).
USA From street bands to jazz halls, New Orleans has music in its DNA. End your day listening to the incredible music of New Orleans at Frenchman Row, a popular spot for local live music in the 1980s. It's known for its Denmark phone number list collection of jazz bars, including my favourite. Second only to Bourbon Street, one of the city's most popular areas, you'll find many bookstores, record stores, cafes and bars on this block. The area is also home to many early 1800s Creole cottages that survived Hurricane Katrina (it's one of the city's highest-lying areas). New Orleans Itinerary: Day 3 Estuary Tour New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Before the swamps and Spanish moss-covered trees of the estuary Take a boat tour of the estuary and explore the swamp-covered trees filled with alligators and Spanish moss.
It remains part of the lifeblood of the region and an important part of its culture. Get back to nature and spend your mornings in this beautiful and relaxing area. Kayak tours cost around $50-60 and last a few hours. Guided tours are available to take you into the water and learn about the ecosystem. They also offer rentals starting at $40 if you don't want to visit. Visit Oak Alley Tree-lined Path to Oak Alley Plantation near New Orleans, USA A dozen oak trees, each over 250 years old, line the path leading to this pre-war plantation estate on the banks of the Mississippi River. The inside of the house isn't as stunning as the outside, and I found the tour guide a bit too brief (and not very detailed). However, wandering the grounds is definitely worth it, and the signs/signage have a lot to say about the horrific slavery.
