A 3-day schedule of the top attractions in New Orleans. From walking tours to streetcars and paddlewheelers, no car necessary to do it all!

Not just for grown-ups, New Orleans has plenty for kids to enjoy too. See alligators in their natural habitat at the Audubon Zoo or ride the carousel at Carousel Gardens with your littlest tourist.

Free or nearly free is no less fun in New Orleans. For less than a cup of café au lait, you can ride a streetcar through the scenic Garden District or window shop fabulous finds on Royal Street.

Beyond the French Quarter lie some of New Orlean's most fascinating sights. Go back in time to the Antebellum South on a plantation tour or visit the home of French Impressionist, Edgar Degas.

New Orleans is one of the world's best drinking towns, and it's only getting better. At these craft cocktail bars, you'll find exquisite concoctions made with small-batch liquors, fresh herbs and house-made tinctures alongside classic cocktails like the New Orleans-born Sazerac.

Rural Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are an easy drive from the Big Easy if you're itching for some new scenery. Go fishing, hit the beach or the casinos in less than a few hours.
