cultures, a New Orleans timeshare offers a unique experience. Food is one area of life that New Orleans takes very seriously. Whether it’s a po-boy sandwich from a food truck, the daily menu at a jazz club or gourmet fresh seafood, you can bet it will be delicious.
Legendary Activities and Attractions
Amazing live music is not just in bars and clubs. Jackson Square and Royal Street have non-stop outdoor entertainment. According to the seasons, Lafayette Square has child-friendly live music concerts on Wednesdays as does Armstrong Park on Thursdays.
Children enjoy swamp tours where they get close to alligators and other wildlife and Audubon Park with a vintage carousel, paddle boats on a lake, a Mother Goose playground and the Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium on Canal Street. With a New Orleans timeshare, you can have endless fun every year for a fraction of what it would ordinarily cost for a first-class vacation in the Big Easy. In the 1970s the nickname Big Easy stuck because of the easy-going way of life compared to the bustle and stress of other big cities.
The Quarter … and Then Some
The French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in the city. The Louisiana State Museum has excellent exhibits including the origin of the famous Mardi Gras parade, as well as documenting the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans is also famous for its cemeteries and the city has several ghost tours you can take at dusk where you learn about reported ghost sightings and other scary stuff.
It is easy to get around New Orleans because there is a historic streetcar line, public buses and the downtown area is small enough that you can walk to most destinations. The French Quarter is the most famous district with restaurants, antique shops, jazz clubs and museums. Mid-City is popular with locals and visitors with the Botanical Gardens, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the New Orleans Fairgrounds that hosts the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival every spring.
On the days you want to check out beyond the city, you can take a steamboat ride up the Mississippi River or take a tour of the local swamps with plenty of wildlife and alligators.
When to Visit
Early spring is the best time to visit New Orleans. If you want to be on-site for the famous Mardi Gras parades, you need to arrive earlier. Hotel prices will be high at this time and you can guess why. However, if you are a New Orleans timeshare owner, you are covered. The fall and short winter are the other popular times in New Orleans but the hot, humid summers are quiet.
