Saint Louis Cemetery #1

Local notables entombed here include 19th-century Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Do not visit this cemetery alone, as criminals have been known to target vulnerable individual tourists. It can safely be visited with tour groups; free ones are given by the park service in addition to various pay tours. Almost all tours start early in the morning, although a couple pay tours will start at 1PM during weekdays.
