🇺🇸💃 3-Day 2-Night Lazy Itinerary for New Orleans

🎄🎄I think 3 to 4 days is about enough to explore the entire city of New Orleans. Here’s my personal itinerary: Day 1: Exploring the French Quarter ⚜️ We stayed at a hotel south of the French Quarter, which doesn’t feel very large.🎁 My check-in order was: Jackson Square - St. Louis Cathedral - The LaBranche House 🏡 These are the three must-visit spots in the French Quarter; the rest of the area is mostly shops. You can wander around, grab some food, and take the whole day at a relaxed pace—no need to rush.🍐🎼 🙉🙉After dinner in the evening, you can head to Mahogany Jazz Hall to listen to jazz. Remember to book in advance, as same-day reservations may be unavailable. Day 2: Morning Swamp Tour 🐊 + Afternoon National World War II Museum 🏛️ It’s recommended to book both in advance. For the swamp tour, we booked with Cajun Encounters Tours.🌻🌻 The experience was great overall, and the guide was very responsible. We reserved the earliest slot at 9:30, and the tour ended around 11:00-11:20.🍜 🍛After lunch, we visited the National World War II Museum, which has five exhibition halls. It also includes two immersive experiences: Beyond All Boundaries and Final Mission. You can check the museum’s official website for descriptions to decide whether to join these experiences.👀👀 The museum is quite large, so an afternoon isn’t really enough to see everything. If you want to explore it thoroughly, I suggest setting aside a full day for it.💞💞 🎉Day 3: Laura Plantation ➕ Oak Alley Plantation Guided tours for both plantations can be booked online directly, and each tour lasts about 1 hour. You can’t explore Laura Plantation on your own, so once the tour ends, there’s not much else to do there.🎈🎈 At Oak Alley Plantation, the main house can only be entered with a guide, but after the tour, you’re free to wander and take photos around the entire plantation.🚗 The plantation is perfect for taking photos—it’s recommended to go when the sun isn’t too strong, otherwise it will be extremely hot If you don’t need much time for taking photos at the plantations,🏠 you can combine the swamp tour and plantations into one day, and dedicate a full day to the National World War II Museum.🏫 This way, your schedule won’t be too tiring, and you’ll also have enough time to enjoy the museum.🏢🏢 The downside is that it takes about 1.5 hours to drive from the swamp to the plantations. #StudyAbroadLife #LifeAbroad #StudentTravel #NewOrleans #NewOrleansTravelGuide #NewOrleansJazz #NewOrleansTrip
