Visiting New Orleans in the spring meant cooler air and less humidity than in the warm summer months. In the end, we spent four days in New Orleans with one night on the road.
New Orleans has plenty of things to do, but the best things to do are to just explore the different neighborhoods. Walk around the French Quarter and Garden District and see what you can find.
At night, going to Bourbon Street allows for great people-watching opportunities. There are plenty of restaurants and bars and many places with live music.

At night, artists, performers, and musicians line the road hoping for tips from those walking by. Even if you don’t drink, Bourbon Street at night is something to experience. The restaurants in this area do get crowded at night, so make sure to get there earlier.
The Garden District in New Orleans is full of beautiful homes and perfectly manicured lawns. You feel like you stepped back into the past with the styles of architecture found here.

If you do your walking tour of the Garden District in the warmer months, make sure to head out early. New Orleans gets hot and humid in the summer months. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes since the sidewalks are pretty uneven at times.
If you enjoy history or have a relative who fought in World War II, take the time to experience this museum. It makes for a perfect rainy day activity in New Orleans too.

The museum consists of four large buildings that are well-organized. Tickets cost $27.00 for adults with different prices for seniors, military personnel, college students, and children. World War II Veterans get in for free.
