Parking

The Central Business District sits between the French Quarter and the Superdome. It's the smartest base for budget travelers — walkable to Bourbon Street, the restaurants of Magazine Street, and the Warehouse District. Canal Street is the dividing line.

Pros

✓ 5-10 minute walk to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter✓ Half the price of French Quarter hotels✓ Streetcar access to Garden District and uptown

Cons

⚠ Parking downtown runs $25-40/night⚠ Prices still spike hard during Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest⚠ Can feel deserted on weekday nights away from Canal Street

🛡️ Safety: Well-patrolled downtown area. Canal Street is busy and safe. Be alert on quieter side streets after midnight. The streetcar is safe to ride at all hours.
