City of Jazz, Creole cuisine, riverboats and carnivals, New Orleans is wrapped in an atmosphere of vitality and excitement. Music surrounds you, at lunch, dinner; in doorways and park… even Louis Armstrong and Harry Connick Jr are part of the city's rich musical heritage. For party lovers Mardi Gras is the time to visit. The biggest party of the year takes place during the three weeks leading up to Ash Wednesday. A rainbow of colourful parades, masquerade balls and street parties make the festival one of the loudest and liveliest celebrations in the world. There is a rich cultural side to New Orleans; it is home to the US’s first opera house and there is opera, ballet and symphony season, regular Broadway shows and plenty of live theatre to enjoy. Visit the homes and haunts of famous writers including William Faulkner and Sherwood Anderson, or go crawfish harvesting with the locals. For local goods and authentic cuisine, the Warehouse District has been redeveloped and offers a host of galleries, restaurants, and craft shops. Or simply stroll down the beautiful New Orleans streets, painted in salmon pinks and pale greens, with wrought iron balconies offering relaxing refuge from the heat.
