New Orleans, Louisiana

Population: 484,674

Undergoing major revitalization efforts in many of its districts, New Orleans' vibrant multicultural flair is as strong as ever. Areas like the French Quarter hum with street performers, nightclubs, restaurants and a general celebratory atmosphere that fills the air nearly 24 hours a day. The annual Mardi Gras festivities draw hundreds of thousands of people to town, particularly along famous Bourbon Street. But it's not all parties and dancing in this elegant old city. On the contrary, its dense variety of architecture, rich historical resources and world-renowned ethnic cuisines play an equal role in making New Orleans one of the world's most visited cities.
