New Orleans

In a dazzling explosion of flavours, emotions and sounds, you will experience Caribbean, American, French and African cultures colliding.

Music is everywhere. People live to eat, and every day is a celebration here in the birthplace of Jazz, home to Creole cuisine, century-old Spanish oaks and clacking streetcars.

With this in mind, New Orleans has the recipe to captivate everyone with a combination of city life and rural plantations, swamp tours, festivals, historical significance and festivity, especially during Mardi Gras,

Hop on a St. Charles, Canal Street or Riverfront streetcar and explore the 300-year-old city split by the Mississippi River and surrounded by lakes, bayous and bays.

See mansions on St. Charles Avenue, opulent estates in the Garden District and a revolving carousel bar at Hotel Monteleone. In the heart of the French Quarter linger in lively Jackson Square.
