I didn't get the opportunity to go inside, but the cathedral is gorgeous to look at from the outside. it is a great area with a street-fair type atmosphere that should not be missed on any trip to NOLA. more

It's a gorgeous cathedral and one of the many free things to do in New Orleans. Stroll through, take pictures, and gaze at the artwork and stained glass. A very unique landmark. more
