A Trip with History

The legendary St. Charles Avenue Street Car line begins its journey downtown on
St. Charles Avenue then proceeds uptown where an amazing architectural tour unfolds
before your eyes. Take in Queen Ann Revival mansions, quaint bed and breakfasts,
ornate churches, synagogues, and homes you'll think you've seen in the movies
(because you have). On your way, you'll pass through the Garden District, the
second-largest historic district in the country.

The Canal Street and Riverfront lines provide access from the foot of Canal Street
to City Park Avenue and along the mighty Mississippi River. Frequent stops allow
for excursions into the French Quarter, French Market and Aquarium of the Americas.
