We did not know that the cemeteries closed at noon on Sunday so our visit to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 was cut extremely short; however, what we did get to see was really impressive. I was amazed that what appeared as new tomes were stacked right up against centuries old ones.

worth the trip. fascinating cemetery with lots of history. i could have spent more time here exploring.

If you take the Free Tours of the Garden District and the cemetery you learn so many interesting facts about how people were and are buried in New Orleans

Took a walking tour. We learned how the crypts are used which was interesting because even those that only hold 2 coffins were used for entire families. We say Marie Laveau's grave. A lot of the crypts are crumbling because no one cares for them. Also got to see Nicholas Cage's pyramid.

Take a tour it makes it so much more intresting. Not only was the tour of the cemetery but also about the town of NOLA Got a discount tour from groupon

The cemeteries in New Orleans are above ground. Wander the grounds reading the inscriptions. Better still, take a tour. There are free tours available (you tip the guide).

This place is good if you grab a tour guide. I wouldn't necessarily go on my own. And be ready for a walk. It takes about two hours.

This cemetary was walking distance from Bourbon street but the neighborhood was a little iffy. Definetly go down St. Louis over Conti to get there. It's fairly small. You can see Nicholas Cage's future burial site (completely ridiculous if you ask me). If you can't get to Lafayette then definetly try to make it here. Well worth it.

Creepy,with a thick, thick,THICK atmosphere of otherworldly presences. Im not big into that stuff, and never have had any ghost experiences of my own, but the feelings here are so saturated with death and decay. Its almost like you are being watched when you are there. Such history! This is a must do. Maybe not every trip but at least... More
