New Orleans Girls Trip
A New Orleans girls trip is food, music, and fun in a walkable footprint — jazz, beignets, rooftop bars, and grand historic homes. Here's where to stay, what to do, a sample weekend, what it costs, and how to split it.
Where to stay for a girls trip in New Orleans
Garden District for grand, quieter homes with a streetcar to everything, or the French Quarter / Marigny to be in the middle of the music and bars. See New Orleans rentals for large groups.
What to do in New Orleans
The New Orleans girls-trip lineup:
- A boozy brunch — often with a live band and a second line.
- Frenchmen Street jazz and Bourbon Street (drinks to go are legal).
- Beignets and a food crawl — Café du Monde, po'boys, a group dinner.
- A cocktail, garden, or cemetery tour.
- A steamboat cruise if you want a river afternoon.
A sample New Orleans girls-trip weekend

Plan it in the girls trip guide and pack with the girls trip supplies list.
Cost & when to go
Excluding flights, budget roughly $400–$900 per person for a weekend — the rental, dinners, and tours drive it, but to-go drinks and free live music keep the nightlife cheap. Split it with the cost splitter. Spring and fall are ideal; summer is hot and humid; Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest are a blast but bring peak prices. Book a licensed rental.
Plan it and split the cost
Lock the date and headcount, set a per-person budget early, and book one big rental with room to hang. Plan a couple of anchors (a dinner, an activity) and leave the rest open — see the full girls trip planning guide. Then split the cost with the cost splitter.
