How To Get Around In New Orleans

New Orleans is a sprawling city that can be tough to travel through and around. If you’re wondering how to get around the city, you have some options.

This article will show you how to travel around the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.

How To Travel Around New Orleans
Because New Orleans is a touristy city, it’s designed for easy access to and fro. If you’re visiting the city, here’s how you can get around.

By Foot

The most economical way to get around New Orleans is via foot — because it’s free. This makes sense if you’re in a hotel on or close to the Riverfront or Canal Street, which is the heart of the tourist district.

Public Transportation

Another cheap way to get around the city is via public transportation. In addition to city buses, New Orleans is known for its streetcars, which stop in the tourist areas as well as the city’s neighborhoods.

Bicycle

One of the rising modes of transportation in New Orleans is cycling. Bike lanes are being installed all across the city, although not on the level as other metropolitan cities.

If you do plan to cycle, please remember that cars often exceed the speed limit on New Orleans’ streets, so be careful.

Car

The city’s highways, streets, roads and boulevards are the best way to get from points A to B. The problem here is during rush hour. Gridlock can be quite an issue during weekday mornings and evenings.
