Some of the best shopping I have seen in traveling. Lots of unique shops. What more can you ask for. Shopping with a alcoholic beverage in my hand.

A lively street with music, interesting shops, good restaurants, and beautiful balconies festooned with flower boxes. All without the stale smell of the bars found on Bourbon.

We love touring keil's Antiques and Moss Antiques, they have the best antiques on Royal St. The people are extremely friendly and very knowledgable. Always willing to wheel and deal to get the best bargain. We have bought numerous items from them over the years and never regretted a single purchase. Buy with confidence.

One of my favorite walks- walk all the way to the other end (Esplanade), it gets better and better- then circle back on Chartres- or visa versa.

Royal Street has to be one of my favorite New Orleans spots. Lots of shopping and street entertainment. You can either window shop or go into one of the many stores and galleries that line this street of new Orleans.

I really enjoyed Royal Street. Unlike Bourbon street, Royal St is clean and the architecture is to die for. It is also much quieter. I liked looking at all the flowers hanging from the balconies. Lots of great restaurants, deli's and shops. And if you are into antiques you can find them here.
