Few hours in NOLA

We are staying in Biloxi for two nights and want to go and see some of New Orleans, Is there a park and ride, or are there carparks downtown. (what is the hourly rate)

Is Bourbon street near the french quarter?

We only want to spend 3-4hrs there - what do you recommend to see?

Few hours in NOLA

Bourbon Street is the middle of the French Quarter going east to west. Take a walk around Jackson Square and try a mule and buggy ride ($12 per person) around the Quarter. Have some beignets and cafe au lait at Cafe Du%26#39;Monde at Jackson Square.

Take a look at the museum to the right of St Louis Cathedral facing from the riverside and you%26#39;ll will see exhibits and information about Mardi Gras. Grab some local seafood at Maspero%26#39;s on Decatur St. near Jackson Square or even a local experience..a mufflelatta at Napoleon House. Pat O%26#39;Briens courtyard or piano bar for a NO famous hurricane (nearly 5 shots of rum)..have just one.

Take a look at the French Market for it many vendor stalls selling local and not so local items...you just follow decatur st. east and n peters and the french market is on the right.

If you need directions check out the Lousiana Travel and Welcome center on st. Ann St. at Jackson Square. Laissez les bon temps rouler.

Few hours in NOLA

If you%26#39;re going to be in New Orleans only during daylight hours, skip Bourbon Street or at least put it rather low on your ';must do'; list. Focus on Royal Street and the riverfront attractions (Aquarium, French Market, Jackson Square, etc.) instead.

';Is Bourbon street near the french quarter?'; Sorry, had to laugh a little at that question.

There are lots of public lots along Decatur in great walking distance to Jackson Square and the sites others have mentioned.

If this is your first time to NOLA, I can understand the desire to see Bourbon Street - even if it%26#39;s just during the day. You will still hear music wafting out of nearly every doorway and see lots of sites and some interesting shops like Marie Laveau%26#39;s Voodoo Shop. Walk all the way down to Lafitte%26#39;s Blacksmith Shop and have a Hurricane there. Better than Pat O%26#39;s IMO.

You%26#39;re gonna wanna stay longer!! Have a great time and come back!
