The Central Business District sits between the French Quarter and the Superdome. It's the smartest base for budget travelers — walkable to Bourbon Street, the restaurants of Magazine Street, and the Warehouse District. Canal Street is the dividing line.
Pros
Cons
🛡️ Safety: Well-patrolled downtown area. Canal Street is busy and safe. Be alert on quieter side streets after midnight. The streetcar is safe to ride at all hours.
