Top Activities: Live jazz on Frenchmen St., ghost tour, brunch at Commander’s Palace.
Solo Vibe: Sultry, soulful, great for rediscovering joy.
Solo Safety: New Orleans comes alive at night, but solo travelers should plan evening outings wisely. Stick to busy streets, use rideshares (not public transit) after dark, and let someone know your plans if you’re out late. NOLA is famous for cocktails and nightlife, but don’t let your guard down. Never leave your drink unattended and keep your bag crossbody or zipped securely when walking in crowds or on Bourbon Street.
Why: Cool without trying too hard—live music, tacos, and lake time.
Top Activities: Paddleboard on Lady Bird Lake, catch a local band, thrift on South Congress.

Just be cautious of the summer heat!
