sheer number of options, here is a lovely list of some of the most
popular attractions and spots in Louisiana. |
Exploring the French Quarter
|
| The French Quarter in New Orleans is one of the most famous spots in
the region and certainly one of the most visited attractions in
Louisiana. Here in a city that never sleeps and oozes with history and
intrigue the jazz lover can find much to do. If you are in right season,
you can enjoy of the many events like the popular Mardi Gras, which
redefines what wild parties and all out celebrations mean. This
historical landmark is a classic and one of the must-see locations that
was virtually undamaged by
Hurricane Katrina. |
Dine with the Best at the Best Restaurants in New Orleans
|
| The delicious Cajun food is a local masterpiece which you can enjoy
along some fantastic Creole dishes. Even if you're in the city for a
little while, you have no excuse for not tasting the delicious etoufee
at Brennan's or go down on some excellent craw-fish in Lafayette. It
might not be glamorous, but the food is certainly one of the most
popular attractions of Louisiana. |
Get Your Adventuring Gear Ready for a Swamp River Cruise in Cajun
Counrty
|
| North America's largest river swamp, the mythical Atchafalaya River,
can be a great destination for a nature adventure far out of the
ordinary. Find an amazing variety of flora and fauna and enjoy the
marvelous sights of one of the best outdoor outings that Louisiana has
to offer. If you want to mingle with the locals try feeding the swamp
alligators and see how this predators lethal teeth render the flesh in
seconds. You can find professional swamp boat tours at Lake Charles,
Baton Rouge and New Orleans. |
Night at the Plantation - A Stay Far Away From Hotels New York
|
| The town of St. Francisville is a lovely historic location where
several plantation homes are available for overnight stays. This is
nothing like you have ever experienced before, especially if your choice
of vacations has taken you to chic
hotels New York City and similar places. Here you can get in your
own time machine as you sit in an old veranda and stroll the manicured
grounds. Staying at the plantations is certainly one of the best ways to
take a peek at how North Americans lived during the pre-civil war period
in the South. |
Sail the Waters of the Mississippi on a Steamboat
|
| Taking a steamboat cruise through the rolling waters of the
Mississippi River is a great little adventure full of nostalgia and
wonderful sights. These steamboats still make their old trails up and
down the Mississippi River from their docks at New Orleans. For a real
premium trip, take a dinner cruise and enjoy the best exponents of Cajun
cuisine while you listen to kicking jazz beats and sip on a regional
drink. Frankly, it doesn't compare to eating at the restaurant of any of
the chic Boston hotels (like these ones
here), it's just incredibly better. |
