Jackson Square, New Orleans

Jackson Square is where all the hustle and bustle is. Artists line the fence during the weekends. The tarot card readers and the fortune tellers fill it by night. There are several restaurants and stores along the sides oh, and the church is the Center Monument overlooking the entire Square. You can go inside to view the Beautiful stained glass windows of the church. Sit on one of the many benches throughout the park and enjoy the people watching during the day. There are also artist showing their skills and putting on performances throughout the day. Definitely worth a trip!

This park is pretty beautiful and full of the New Orleans experience. Surrounded by street performers on all sides, the busy sound of music, tricks, and tourism all merge together to create an environment you expect to find in the French Quarter. Most days the timeless sound of jazz seeps through the iron gates to the beautiful landscape of Jackson Square Park. The grass is green and the rose bushes bloom in early spring. Palm trees dot the crossings of the sidewalk that surround a stately statue of Andrew Jackson, the parks namesake. This park providea a great view to another of New Orleans historic claim to fame, the St Louis Cathedral. Standing stately and tall behind the park the overall environment is great for taking pictures or just enjoying the day on one of the benches that surround the park.

Very cool and historic park. Used to be the Place D'Armes under the French and Spanish but is now named after Andrew Jackson for winning an important battle just outside New Orleans against the British. It's beautiful and a fun place to learn about New Orleans and it's military history. It's right next to lots of little boutiques and restaurants so you can make a whole day out of visiting the park and wandering around the area eating and shopping. Definitely a must visit if you're on vacation in New Orleans, even if you just want to spend the afternoon in the sun reading a book in a beautiful park.

Beautiful must see. Landscape mixed with history comparable to none. Catch a carriage tour here and ride through the streets with a tour and history lesson. Well worth $20 each for information and lovely way to view the French Quarter and save your feet. Hannah our driver and Slim were excellent choices for us. March 22, 2018

An absolutely lovely area to Relax Inn, walk around, people watch, or just take photographs. Highly recommended the park is clean and there are benches to sit and a water fountain in there. Great views of St Louis Cathedral. Excellent location easy to get to Via lift, taxi, or horse. Even bicycles. Any kind of transportation that you need is around this area. Enjoy yourselves
