Liam’s guidebook

At Haven, you are blocks away from the Lafitte Greenway which is a car-free bike trail that connects downtown and the French Quarter with the gorgeous City Park and its ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss and home to the New Orleans Museum of Art and its superb free outdoor sculpture gardens. For a true local experience, you can also board the Canal Streetcar at City Park and ride downtown to the French Quarter where you can connect with the St. Charles streetcar which runs through the stunning Garden District to the Audubon Park and Zoo as well as past Tulane and Loyola universities.
