About New Orleans
New Orleans is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the United States. That's evident with the Mardi Gras festival that attracts more than 2 million visitors. Museums, restaurants, music venues, sporting events, and other attractions call out to every vacationer in New Orleans Vacation Homes. Golfing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, nature tours, and bicycling are only few of the activities you can enjoy here. Called the "Sportsmen's Paradise," New Orleans is home to the Louisiana Superdrome, home to the New Orleans Saints, the Tulane University football team, and the Nokia Sugar Bowl, and also classified as one of the “man made wonders of the world”.
The Audobon Park and Zoological Garden at New Orleans has more than 1,000 varieties of plants combined with 1,800 animals to replicate natural habitats found around the world. White tigers, buffalo, llamas, gorillas, tamarins, and the only white alligators known to be in existence in the world call the Audubon Zoo their home! The New Orleans Museum of Art has over 40,000 permanent exhibits, and strives to preserve and present a representative survey of the finest art mankind has produced from antiquity to the present. Restaurants and other attractions make nightlife pulsating at New Orleans' French Quarter. The grandest of all parties, Mardi Gras takes place at New Orleans' French Quarter from mid-February to early March, culminating with 'Fat Tuesday,' the end of the festival and the beginning of Lent.
