Oh, where do I start? Royal Street is absolutely beautiful. The iron wrought balconies, the artistic shops, the fine dining restaurants. I could go on and on, but you must experience it for yourself. I find it unbelievable that the craziness from Bourbon St. doesn't spill over onto Royal St., as they are right around the corner from each other...but,... More

I live on Royal Street; Art Galleries, Antique Stores, Fashion Boutiques, pedestrian mall by day. It's like stepping back in time every day when I leave my home.

Not too far from the bustle of Bourbon Street, on this much quieter parallel street, you would find all the fancy boutiques you can handle, carrying jewelry, antiques, watches, arts, furniture, all beautifully arranged for you to see, all calling for you.

I love going into the art galeries and antique shops. The owner of one of the shops let me try on expensive jewelry once. The people are wonderful and want to tell you their story.

Royal Street is where you go during the day when visiting the French Quarter. With so many art galleries and antique stores, you could spend hours wandering down Royal. Grab a cup of cafe au lait and stroll. There are plenty of restaurants, too, so you can get lunch without having to go very far.

Lots of art, good food and street bands. Spent most of our two days walking up and down it and much preferred it to Bourbon - the two are night and day!

The shops on Royal Street are amazing. Too upscale for my wallet but, like everywhere you go in the French Quarter, they treat you like you're right where you should be!!

Pricey antique stores are fun to browse. Nice kitchen and dining stores as well as restaurants and upscale hotels.
