Visit the oldest active cemetery in New Orleans and learn more about the history of this city!
About the tour
It has been estimated that since the founding of the St. Louis #1 cemetery in 1789 about hundred thousand New Orleans residents have found their final rest here, and all of that on the tiny space of only a half city block!
The guide will lead you around this extraordinary place, where some of the finest above-ground architectural tombs of the United States can be found. Visit the tomb of the infamous voodoo queen Maria Laveau, the tombs of well-known New Orleans musicians and the future resting place of Nicholas Cage.
Nowadays, the cemetery can only be visited with guided tours, so grab your chance before it’s too late!
