Frommer's EasyGuide to New Orleans 2019

Few cities anywhere are as vibrant, historically rich, and just plain fun as New Orleans. But it’s not a “dummy proof” destination. Too many travelers leave town wondering what all the fuss is about.

That doesn’t happen to those carrying this book. Written by frequent Frommer author and journalist, Diana K. Schwam, Frommer’s EasyGuide to New Orleans 2019 introduces travelers to the experiences other visitors miss; and has the type of insightful commentary on the iconic sights that brings them to life. The book includes special sections for those who are visiting during Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest; and day trips to nearby plantations and nature sights. Finally, there’s exact pricing for every item in the book, along with transportation tips, to help make your vacation worry free.
