New Orleans Hotels and Accomodation
New Orleans, capital of Louisiana, is the largest city in the state and one of the most fascinating of American cities.
It is a major Mississippi River port (Transshipping trade takes the main part of the city's trade), one of the most
important merchant shipping centers, a large financial center, an important industrial city and a top tourist attraction
in the United States because of its access to the Mexico Gulf.
New Orleans is suitable for travel all the year round due to its humid subtropical climate with the average temperature of
27.7 degree centigrade in July and 11.6 degree centigrade in January. Rich in color, with bays here and there, it is a
perfect refreshing place.
French Quarter is the most famous part of the city. It had been a French colony until Napolean sold it to the newly built
United States of America. Now it focuses on commerce and entertainment with lots of clubs, bars, shops, hotels and
restaurants. Many buildings here are still in the French style and some are quite like what they were two centuries ago.
Bourbon Street, extending through French Quarter from east to west, is one of the best areas for nightlife, attracting
millions of people. The black musicians in this street created jazz at the end of the 19th century, so first-class jazz
bars and R&B bars are available here. Moreover, excellent street artists and behavior artists here make deep impression
on tourists. The stripe tease bars in this street are renowned all over the country. Generally, the admission is $10 and
there are only topless shows.
