All about Louisiana

When to visit

The best time to visit Louisiana is from mid-February to early May and from October to December. Visiting in spring or fall allows you to avoid the oppressive heat and humidity of summer while still enjoying warm temperatures. February and March is also the season for one of the world’s most colorful celebrations, Mardi Gras, so expect big crowds and steep hotel rates during the two weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday.

Getting around

In New Orleans, much of interest to visitors is located within walking distance, and the generally flat city is easily explored by bicycle. Otherwise, save your energy by hopping on one of the city’s famed streetcars or a public bus. You can get to other major cities in the state by Amtrak train or bus, although many prefer to drive, and you’ll need your own wheels to dive into Cajun Country and beyond.

Traveler tips

New Orleans is world-renowned for its Mardi Gras celebrations, but the party never stops in Louisiana. The Big Easy also boasts Jazz Fest in spring and Voodoo Fest in fall, while Shreveport’s Red River Revel and the Bogalusa Blues and Heritage Festival both happen in fall. Come December, the lakefront city of Natchitoches is illuminated by more than 300,000 Christmas lights for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is Louisiana famous for?

Travelers to Louisiana should expect great Cajun and Creole food, blues and jazz music, and an easygoing attitude that enjoys letting the good times roll. The southern state has a major influence on American culture and a rich history that encompasses a wide variety of cultures.

How many days do you need in Louisiana?

Aim to spend at least seven days in Louisiana if you want to see more than just New Orleans. You’ll want to spend at least two or three days in the Big Easy before heading out to explore Cajun Country, the Louisiana Wetlands, Natchitoches, and Lake Charles.

What is there to do in Louisiana for a week?

From touring swamps to historic architecture, there is much to fill one week in Louisiana. Spend a few days in New Orleans, then three or four days soaking up the state’s natural beauty: Explore interesting flora and fauna in Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge or go hiking in the Kisatchie National Forest.

What is the number one attraction in Louisiana?

The French Quarter in New Orleans is arguably the state’s number one attraction. The city’s oldest neighborhood is famed for the rowdy bars that line Bourbon Street as well as unmissable spots like Jackson Square, the French Market, St. Louis Cathedral, and the legendary Café du Monde.

What food should you try in Louisiana?

Foodie travelers are spoiled for choice in Louisiana. Crawfish, gumbo, jambalaya, Shreveport-style stuffed shrimp, po’boys, beignets, and king cake are just a few of Louisiana’s delicious signature dishes. Wash it all down with a sazerac, a rye whiskey-based cocktail that originated in New Orleans.

Is Louisiana tourist friendly?

Yes, Louisiana is very friendly in general. As one of the biggest tourist towns in the United States, New Orleans is especially well set up for visitors. As with any big city, however, crime can be an issue, so always be aware of your surroundings and belongings, especially after dark.
