It’s no mystery why New Orleans, Louisiana is considered to be a top attraction within the U.S. With its vibrant streets, lively culture, and unbeatable food at every corner, NOLA never fails to amaze visitors from around the globe. In fact, there’s one neighborhood that’s considered to be America’s most stunning historic district. Here’s more on the incomparable French Quarter, and why you’ll want to plan your trip there soon:
Striking cast-iron balconies and gorgeous florals are just part of what makes New Orleans' French Quarter so intriguing.
This historic aspect gives the French Quarter an undeniably haunting vibe, and it's a widely-held belief that many corners of this district are indeed haunted.
For a prime introduction into New Orleans' ghostly appeal, look no further than the St. Louis Cemetery #1. The city's oldest cemetery, this landmark is distinguished for its aboveground tombs.
Of course, not every corner of the city is haunted. Breathtaking landmarks such as Jackson Square are appealing to both history buffs and architecture aficionados.
After meandering down the streets of the French Quarter, you'll truly feel like you've been transported to a different world. It's no mystery why these streets are the subject of so many paintings -- they themselves are as colorful as the artwork!
