  New Orleans is a mixture of cultures: French; Creole; Cajun; and African-American and is famous as the birth-place of jazz. This guide covers the many features of this eclectic city, exploring things to do, from paddlesteamer cruises on the Mississippi to historic plantations and the carnival in the French Quarter. Featuring many colour photographs to show New Orleans at its best, this guide includes: street-by-street maps; cutaways and floorplans of public buildings and landmarks; and a Survival Guide , which shows, in pictures, how to use the local currency, public transport and telephones.
