The Live Music Capital of the World

America’s live music capital is a friendly and photogenic city.

Day 7 & 9 (Houston to New Orleans - 348 Mi)

Houston to New Orleans

As you depart from the plains of Texas the dry air becomes humid and the cattle fields become forests punctuated by bays and bayous. A true melting pot of influences, New Orleans retains a unique spirit and atmosphere. Stories of voodoo magic sit alongside colonial architecture in the French Quarter, as jazz spills from the bars and the smell of freshly cooked jambalaya fills the air.
