Jackson Square

In the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, Jackson Square stands as a National Historic Landmark and a central meeting point. The square is framed by the fairy-tale spires of St. Louis Cathedral, alongside the historic Cabildo and Presbytère museums. Visitors can stroll through Washington Artillery Park along the Mississippi River, then explore the square where buskers, street performers, and artists create a lively atmosphere. Whether walking or sitting to watch the vibrant scene, the square offers a blend of history and contemporary culture.
