Traveler advice
Getting around
The streetcar will be your best bet!
The famous Saint Charles Streetcar runs right along Carondelet on its way to the French Quarter. Use the RTA GoMobile app to purchase tickets and check updated times. This is a great tool for getting around the area, and is also a great opportunity to see the beautiful homes of Uptown New Orleans. Tickets only cost $1.25 per ride!
