Travel Tips
New Orleans can be hot and humid, especially in the summer. Pack lightweight clothing and stay hydrated. Embrace the local culture, which is known for its hospitality and love for music, food, and festivities. While the city is generally safe for tourists, be cautious in crowded areas and stick to well-lit streets, especially at night. And always explore more! Venture beyond the French Quarter to experience neighborhoods like the Garden District, Marigny, and Bywater for a more authentic experience
