The elegant, leafy uptown district — the Garden District, with its grand antebellum mansions, oak-lined avenues, the historic streetcar and the atmospheric Lafayette Cemetery, plus the boutiques and eateries of Magazine Street. Refined, green and relaxed, a scenic streetcar ride from the Quarter; the base for travellers who want a calmer, gracious setting with beautiful architecture and great shopping and dining. New Orleans at its most genteel. Lovely and peaceful.
