Less than three miles from the French Quarter is a much quieter and more relaxed neighborhood. With its signature oak tree-lined streets, the Garden District is home to grand Victorian mansions surrounded by lush greenery.
The best way to get to the Garden District and to navigate the neighborhood is using the NOLA streetcar system. Several streets in the Garden District are worth strolling, one of which being St. Charles Avenue.
This is an iconic 5-mile stretch through the Garden District filled with 19th- and 20th-century mansions, bars, restaurants, and leftover hanging beads from the Carnival route.
