Top Culture in New Orleans

If you want to save a little cash, consider visiting on a Wednesday. They often have special discounts and you'll avoid the weekend crowds!

I suggest bringing cash for donations if you're planning to light a candle. It really adds to the experience and helps the cathedral maintain its beauty.

If you can, visit on a weekday around 2 PM. The museum was super quiet then, and I could take my time with each piece without rushing

I suggest checking their website for free admission days; I went on a Sunday and it saved me a good amount. Just be ready for more crowds on those days.

I suggest going on a weekday especially if you can swing it around 2 PM. The crowds are way lighter then and you can really take your time exploring without bumping into too many people.

I think it’s worth sticking around for the tour guide's stories; they really bring the place to life. But try going during the weekdays if you can; it's less crowded and more enjoyable.

My advice is to check the schedule for the float-building workshops. They only run at specific times, and I missed one because I didn’t plan ahead.

I think you should explore the side streets around the square too. Some hidden gems and local shops are just a short walk away, and they give you a better feel for the culture than the main drag. Don't miss them!

I suggest visiting on a Wednesday if you can; they had some great midweek specials when I was there! It saved me a few bucks, and it was less crowded, too

my advice is to grab a snack nearby before you go in. there’s a cute café just down the street, and trust me, the museum cafe is a bit pricy for what you get!
