Breeze Flights From Columbus, OH to New Orleans, LA From $67*

Head over to the Big Easy and immerse yourself in southern culture. Known for its lavish wintertime Mardi Gras celebration and creole cooking, New Orleans offers a unique big-city experience. Hire a tour guide to explore the mystic lakes and swamplands of the Bayou stretching into the ocean. You can also visit the remote beaches of Grand Isle for some R & R. 

Start your day in the city at the Garden District. The historic area is filled with ornate pillared mansions, quaint cottages, and live oaks and includes a notable cemetery with above-ground graves from the 1800s. Hop on a brightly colored streetcar and ride along St. Charles Avenue towards downtown. Along the way, make sure to stop at the storied museums along the Mississippi River. The National WWII Museum contains thousands of artifacts celebrating American heroism. If you miss the big celebration in March, make sure to visit Mardi Gras World where you can see the float creation process in action. 

Spend the afternoon cruising the river on the Steamboat Natchez, a luxurious liner sporting an iconic red paddle wheel. Enjoy a lunch buffet as you take in the sights and sounds of the city. Relive a bygone era where the Mississippi, a critical trade route, represented the beating heart of a young nation. After your boat excursion, make sure to check out the Voodoo Museum, a tribute to the legacy of the spiritual practices of early settlers of the region. 

Before the sun sets, pay a visit to Jackson Square and enjoy the greenery and architecture headlined by the soaring St. Louis Cathedral. Spend the evening engrossed in the French Quarter where bars with live jazz music and local art galleries line the famous Bourbon and Royal Streets. Preservation Hall is a notable spot to watch musicians peddle their craft. As you peruse the city’s prominent night life, make sure to sample classic favorites like gumbo and jambalaya.
