New Orleans<\/a> is known for its rambunctious nightlife and wild Mardi Gras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s more to the Big Easy than the frozen drinks on Bourbon Street. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s essential to branch out during your visit. The Garden District, the Central Business District (aka CBD), the Marigny, Bywater, and Mid-City (among other neighborhoods) all have their own distinct style, vibe, and personality. <\/p>\n

And, since each is going to shape your experience, you want to pick an area to stay that fits your style.<\/p>\n

To help you plan your trip, here is my breakdown of the best neighborhoods in New Orleans for visitors (as well as suggested accommodations in each).<\/p>\n

But, first, some frequent questions I get asked about staying in New Orleans: <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood for sightseeing? <\/strong>
This one is pretty simple: the French Quarter<\/a>. Yes, it\u2019s packed with tourists, but if sightseeing is on your agenda, then a stay here is a must. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood for families?<\/strong>
If you\u2019re traveling as a family, Mid-City<\/a> is the place for you. In addition to hugging up against the expansive City Park, the area is also home to the Louisiana Children\u2019s Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood for shopping? <\/strong>
The Warehouse District<\/a> is filled with great shops and boutiques. Make sure you hit Magazine Street, which stretches into the Lower Garden District as well. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood for foodies? <\/strong>
Trem\u00e9 and the 7th Ward<\/a> are excellent for people who travel with their stomach and taste buds in mind. There are new trendy spots but also a handful of excellent traditional Creole and Cajun restaurants. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood for history? <\/strong>
While lots of people might point the history buff to the French Quarter \u2014 and understandably so \u2014 the Garden District<\/a> is a more tranquil neighborhood that is worth exploring, replete with 19th-century mansions and historic cemeteries. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood for hipsters? <\/strong>
The Marigny<\/a> and neighboring Bywater are chock-full of dive bars, art galleries, and cool restaurants with an all-around hip vibe. Frenchmen Street boasts a bunch of great jazz bars and bohemian hangouts. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best neighborhood overall? <\/strong>
It\u2019s hard to pick just one neighborhood in a city where each district has its own unique flavor and style, but I\u2019m going with the French Quarter<\/a>, because that is usually the one that lures people here in the first place.<\/p>\n

So, with those questions answered, here\u2019s a breakdown of each neighborhood, with suggested accommodations, so you know precisely where to stay in New Orleans: <\/p>\n
