Riding on the Streetcar, New Orleans - Travel

This was so amazing that
Streetcar In New Orleans

Riding on a Streetcar was so amazing that we wanted to make a special post about it. Our minds and spirits couldn't believe how incredible this is. It's so nostalgic, romantic and technically interesting at the same time. That felt like being in a dream and of course that deserved its own post.

The Streetcar system is working since 1831. That is to be said that this specific line of St Charles is the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world. The other lines have had interruptions for different reasons, hurricane Katrina was one of those reasons.

I tried to capture a glimpse of the experience of riding on the Streetcar in New Orleans on a short video, It is down below, so go ahead and take a look...

If you plan to come to New Orleans as a tourist, I really recommend you to stay close to the Streetcar lines. We stayed in the Garden District. That way you can go back and forth to your daily tourist destination having this incredible experience. So I would never get tired of it. If you do so, you won't have to spend money on Uber, won't have to pay the high rates of hotels into the main touristic zone. But you'll still be connected to it through an amazing experience like this.

Here you have the Streetcar system map

Streetcar 02

Using a superficial transport system is (after walking) the best way to live the place. In some cities, traffic makes it impossible to enjoy but not in this case where traffic is out of the equation.Β It is not just about the car itself, it is also about all that you see in the surroundings. All that urban landscape with trees, buildings, houses, churches and so on. You can enjoy all these beauties passing by on a ride like this.

So, with riding on the Streetcar, we take one of the most beautiful memories. It was actually, riding on a lovable time machine.

Usando el TranvΓ­a en New Orleans

Esto fue tan increΓ­ble que quisimos hacer un post especial al respecto. No podΓ­amos creer lo increΓ­ble que es esto. Es nostΓ‘lgico, romΓ‘ntico y tΓ©cnicamente interesante al mismo tiempo. Tanto que se sentΓ­a como estar en un sueΓ±o y, por supuesto, que merecΓ­a su propia publicaciΓ³n.

El sistema de tranvΓ­as funciona desde 1831. EspecΓ­ficamente esta lΓ­nea de St Charles es el sistema ferroviario de calles de funcionamiento continuo mΓ‘s antiguo del mundo. Las otras lΓ­neas de este sistema han tenido interrupciones por diferentes motivos, el huracΓ‘n Katrina fue uno de ellos.

IntentΓ© capturar una muestra de la experiencia en ese breve video mΓ‘s arriba, Γ©chale un vistazo ...

Si vienes a New Orleans como turista, te recomiendo que te mantengas hospedado cerca de las lΓ­neas de tranvΓ­a. ASΓ­ podrΓ‘s ir y venir a tu destino turΓ­stico diario montado en esta increΓ­ble experiencia, nunca me cansarΓ­a de ello. Si lo haces, no tendrΓ‘ que gastar dinero en Uber, no tendrΓ‘ que pagar las altas tarifas de los hoteles en la principal zona turΓ­stica. Pero aΓΊn asΓ­ estarΓ‘ conectado a travΓ©s de una experiencia increΓ­ble.

MΓ‘s arriba tienes el mapa de las vΓ­as disponibles y sus respectivas paradas.

Usar un sistema de transporte superficial es (despuΓ©s de caminar) la mejor forma de vivir el lugar. En algunas ciudades el trΓ‘fico hace que sea imposible de disfrutar, pero en este caso el trΓ‘fico estΓ‘ fuera de la ecuaciΓ³n. No es solo del tranvΓ­a en sΓ­, sino que tambiΓ©n se trata de lo que uno ve del entorno. El paisaje urbano con Γ‘rboles, edificios, casas, iglesias y todo lo que se puede disfrutar en un paseo como este.

Nos llevamos uno de los mΓ‘s bellos recuerdos montados en esta adorable mΓ‘quina del tiempo.
