Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken, with lingering French and Creole influences. The historic core is walkable, and the charming streetcar lines and RTA buses cover the main sights cheaply, while Uber and Lyft fill the gaps at night; a rental car is only really handy for bayou or plantation trips beyond the city, and under-25 drivers often pay a young-driver surcharge, so consider day tours instead. Normal city caution applies at night away from busy areas.
