Walking Directions in New Orleans

The French Quarter is a grid on paper and a maze on foot - balconies hide the sky, alleys cut between courtyards, and every cross street looks like the last. By night the gas lamps make it worse. imhere photographs each turn so you find your hotel, your jazz bar and your way out of the Quarter.

How to navigate New Orleans old town

Start from Jackson Square, Canal Street or a streetcar stop. Follow the photos past the balconies, the courtyard gates and the restaurant signs. When a lane looks identical in both directions, the photo of the ironwork or the street sign tells you which way to go.

From the airport to New Orleans

From MSY: the Airport Express (E2) or Jefferson Transit bus to downtown (~40 min), or a taxi/Uber (~25 min, flat fare). Save an imhere route from your bus stop for the final walk through the Quarter's narrow streets to your hotel.
