3. Fulfill The Thrill In Their Haunted Cemeteries

New Orleans is well-known for their haunted cemeteries, so you must visit one when you get there.

Almost all of the burials are above ground and are housed in ornate vaults because the majority of the city is at or below sea level, which makes visiting the cemeteries here a really unique experience. The most well-known cemetery in New Orleans, St. Louis Cemetery #1, is only a block away from the French Quarter. It was established in 1789 and is the oldest cemetery in the allegedly haunted city.

4. Be Amazed At New Orlean's Museum of Art

New Orlean's Museum of Art opened its doors in 1911, making it one of the country's oldest art museums. It is one of the greatest art exhibitions in the southern United States.

Over thousands works of art are on permanent display at the museum, including stunning  Japanese, American, and African works as well as French paintings from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including ones by Monet and Edgar Degas. Not to be missed are the traveling displays at the museum.

5. Swamp Tour 

One of the best things to do in New Orleans is to take a swamp tour, which typically lasts two hours. Discover the stunning wetlands of Louisiana, which are filled with wildlife, plants, and flowers. Aside from gators, you might also observe boars, turtles, minks, ospreys, herons, and possibly a bald eagle. Your tour guide will also educate you on the local Cajun lifestyle and the history of the bayous in New Orleans.
