United States Louisiana New Orleans

Algiers Point

A historic neighborhood known for its laid-back vibe, 19th-century architecture, and as the second oldest continuously occupied site in the city.

Tips from the community

Algiers sits right on the riverfront of the Mississippi, and is perhaps overlooked due to it being on the ‘other’ side of the river, but it is definitely worth a visit as the second oldest area in New Orleans. From Canal Street, you can take a ferry across the Mississippi to Algiers, where you can admire the view of the Downtown district stretched out before you. Here, a walking tour is the best way to learn about the history of the area.
