New Orleans is a happening city, which means there is always something going on regardless of the time of year. That being said, the best time to visit "The Big Easy" is between the months of February through May when the city is at its busiest, and many arrive for Mardi Gras as early as January. Temperatures rise throughout the summer (June through September), while October through January is moderate in temperature and less crowded than spring.

Bus: The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (NORTA) operates over 30 bus routes across the city, offering a convenient way to explore various neighborhoods.

RTA offers several fare options, including One-Way Fares and Jazzy Passes valid for 1 day, 3 days, or 31 days. These passes can be used on both buses and streetcars. One-way tickets and 1-day passes can be purchased directly from bus drivers using exact change. Alternatively, you can buy any fare type through the GoMobile app, which allows for instant access on your smartphone. Passes can also be ordered online through MyRTA, or purchased at various retail locations across the city. Additionally, Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) are available at key points along the Canal Streetcar Line, where you can buy passes. Streetcar: Streetcars are a quintessential part of New Orleans' charm and a favorite mode of transportation for both locals and visitors. The city operates four lines: St. Charles, Canal Street, Riverfront, and the N. Rampart line, all of which originate downtown. Streetcar fares are the same as bus fares, with one-way tickets and 1-day passes available for purchase with exact change upon boarding. You can also buy 3-day and 31-day Jazzy Passes through the GoMobile app, online with MyRTA, from numerous local retailers, or at TVMs along the Canal Streetcar Line. Other Transportation: In addition to public transit, bike rentals are widely available throughout New Orleans, offering a flexible and eco-friendly way to explore the city.
