The loud, neon-lit party street of the French Quarter: bars, music, hurricanes in plastic cups and crowds until dawn.

Getting There
In the French Quarter.

Why Go

Love it or hate it, Bourbon Street is part of the New Orleans experience: 13 blocks of bars and clubs, closed to cars at night. The lower end, toward Esplanade, is quieter and has the historic Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop bar.

Tips

  • Watch your belongings in the crowds.
