Safety
Tips for Staying Safe in New Orleans
* Like anywhere else, New Orleans crime is higher in certain neighborhoods. Know which New Orleans neighborhoods to avoid—and which to stick to. And definitely don’t visit the cemeteries without a formal tour group, especially after dark.
* If you’re walking, stay alert and, if possible, travel with a companion. After dark, avoid strolling around by yourself. Public transit, including streetcars and taxis, is relatively safe, but driving in New Orleans can present some problems—vehicle break-ins are quite common in New Orleans, as are traffic accidents.
