New Orleans' Garden District is the epitome of Southern charm. The neighborhood is full of historic mansions, many built in the Italianate, colonial revival, and Greek revival styles. Many feature wrought-iron fences, verandas, and manicured gardens. Streets are separated by stretches of green parks, and St. Charles Avenue—known for its famous St. Charles Streetcar—runs right through the heart of it all.

People Also Ask
Q:Is the Garden District worth seeing?
A:Yes, the Garden District is worth seeing. It's full of beautiful old mansions, many with sprawling verandas and lush gardens filled with trees and flowers. Most also have intricate wrought-iron work on their fences and balconies. It's also home to the Lafayette Cemetery No.1, one of the city's prettiest historic cemeteries.
Q:What is the most famous street in the Garden District?
A:St. Charles Avenue is the most famous street in the Garden District and among the best-known streets in the city. Many of the most spectacular mansions in the neighborhood, including the Elms Mansion, are right on the avenue, and it’s a great place to experience Mardi Gras parades.
Q:Can you drive through the Garden District?
A:Yes, you can drive through the Garden District. However, if you're driving, you'll need to keep your eyes on the road, and you'll miss much of the area's beautiful architecture. Instead of driving, join a guided tour or hitch a ride on the St. Charles Streetcar instead.
Q:What is the best time of year to visit the Garden District?
A:The best time to visit the Garden District, outside of the Mardi Gras period, is during the spring, when the temperatures are warm but not too hot, and flowers are in full bloom. After temperatures and humidity have dropped, the later part of fall is equally pleasant, weather-wise.
Q:What do you see on a tour of the Garden District?
A:Tours of the Garden District vary, though you can expect to see lots of beautiful architecture while you learn about the area's history from your local guide. Many tours also include visits to the famous Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, except when it’s closed for maintenance or restoration.
Q:Should you book Garden District tours in advance?
A:Yes, you should book Garden District tours in advance. Tours sell out, so it’s worth securing your spot to avoid disappointment. Some tours make it easy to cancel up to 24 hours before your departure time, so you can get a full refund if your plans change.
