Jackson Square, New Orleans

The only small issue you will have is parking but there are a few good pay spots near that work great and not but priced. Take you time and look around. There are some amazing shops and restaurants around church to see and eat at. As far as the church itself, it is a gorgeous church that has been well taken care of over the years. But do note on what time you get there, mass maybe going on and you should not walk in and just look around. Wait till after mass and then go in. And be respectful of others and of the church.

Jackson Square is an essential stop in New Orleans. Absolutely stunning views, a well-maintained park, and an easy walk from many of the other popular tourist stops. Great for a lazy afternoon stroll or a quick photo opportunity. Usually not too crowded, either!

Excellent place to see local artists displaying and selling their art. Street entertainment is usually excellent. Far busier on weekends but weekday evenings you may find some great singer/songwriter just , play6by the cathedral.

I don't know where to start in describing Jackson Square to you guys. You will simultaneously LOVE it and HATE it. You will love it for its art, music, and history all contained in one area; you will hate it for the tourists. But the thing is, the place wouldn't be complete without the tourists. They add the vibe of a LIVED space. It wouldn't be Jackson Square without the tourists appreciating the art, listening to the music, and remembering the history. So go ahead and don't mind the other people. Just walk around and enjoy.

Really nice area, has a lot of things to see and do. Me and my wife spent the 4th of July there, had a really great time. The restaurants around the square are great, the street musicians were mostly excellent. If you see and hear them you have to tip them because you see the hard work they put in for a show plus the raw talent most have. Also really nice art on display at the many places lining the square.You could spend a whole weekend by the square and not scratch the surface.
