City Park’s many attractions are nestled among the shadows of the largest collection of ancient oak trees. Stone foot bridges cross lagoons in this picture-perfect setting in 1\,300 lush acres. At this stop you’ll have the choice to purchase café au lait and beignets at Morning Call Café (cash only) or explore the free five acre sculpture garden. Continue on to New Orleans’ second most famous street—St. Charles Avenue\, the oak-lined avenue of American elegance. Following the streetcar route\, the first public transportation system in the United States\, you will access the Uptown area. Here you will see Tulane and Loyola Universities and Audubon Park. \nThere are two stops on the tour: a 10 minute stop at St. Louis #3 cemetery and a 20 minute stop at City Park where guests have a chance to walk around\, purchase refreshments\, and walk through a sculpture garden.” \nTwitterFacebookPress ThisLinkedInEmailMorePrintRedditWhatsAppTumblrPocketPinterestLike this:Like Loading...\n\n	Related\n
