Also known as Uptown, the Garden District exudes Southern charm and is best explored by foot or aboard the St. Charles Streetcar. Both shabby and chic, the area is a mix of grand mansions and shotgun shacks—local slang for modest row houses. The trolley skirts Loyola and Tulane universities, and the Audubon Park complex. Shoppers can find hidden gems in Uptown’s side streets, such as Magazine.
