It was a very interesting stroll thru the cemetery The culture and the reason for the above ground tombs really blew my mind.

This cemetary was in the middle of a gorgeous neighborhood. It was pleasant to walk to from the streetcar (get off at Washington). Even though it was spring there were leaves down in the cemetary so it felt like Fall. It was definetly one of my favorite parts of vacation.

Just walk through on a walking tour or by yourself and you can see layers of life in New Orleans. Much needs to be done to restore this cemetery, but attempts are being made. We walked this by ourselves and I am very glad we did.

The cemetery is different in that all the graves are above ground because of the water table.You have small mausoleums It's something very different

Enjoyed walking thru the park-like setting of this cemeterty. I really enjoy funereal art and was surprised there was not a great deal. The above ground crypts and inscriptions were interesting. A guided tour would have yielded more info on the inhabitants of this city of the dead.

Very interesting cemetery and history of how the dead are buried. You can do on your own, but do it between 10 am and 1130 am when there are a lot of people in the cementary.

Did this as part of the free walking tour on foot. This was good as it gave a bit of history and information about the cemetery. Its not a large cemetery at all but very different with all the tombs above ground due to the water levels in new orleans this made it seem a bit more spooky than a... More

It is kind of spooky but remember they were real people at one time so be respectfull of the place.Keep quite and just look.

The travel books suggested to always travel in a group when you go to visit the cemetary because of vendalism, muggings etc. and as it turns out we saw some people inside but then there was no place to park,.
