Jackson Square, a historic park in the heart of the French Quarter, is one of New Orleans' most iconic sites. This beautiful, manicured square is surrounded by historic buildings including St. Louis Cathedral, the Cabildo, and the Presbytère, and is always bustling with artists, musicians, and street performers, capturing the lively spirit of the city.

Best time/season to visit: Vibrant throughout the year, but particularly lively during festival seasons such as Mardi Gras and the French Quarter Festival.
