In 'The Originals,' New Orleans is their home and many scenes are shot in New Orleans, making it a great place to explore sets. Along with being a great party area since there are no open container rules, New Orleans is one of the richest places for supernatural history and a lot of weird mysteries.
1. Walk around the French Quarter
The French Quarter is shown in The Originals many times and it is also one of the best places to visit in New Orleans. It is full of liveliness and music. The place is a great place to people watch and just walk around and enjoy the look of the streets.
2. Visit a Voodoo Shop
There are many voodoo shops in New Orleans. Marie Laveau's is one of the many. The voodoo shops are shown in The Originals as where some of the witches worked. They are a lot of fun to look around in and they have fun things to buy as a souvenir.
3. Visit Boutique du Vampyre
Boutique du Vampyre is a cute vampire boutique that was shown in The Originals and also has a couple things from The Vampire Diaries. They have vervain necklaces and blood bags you can buy along with amazing other supernatural souvenir's. The workers there are also amazing themselves.
4. Lafayette Cemetery
In New Orleans they do not bury their dead and instead are put in tombs. The Lafayette Cemetery is seen in The Originals many times because it's where the witches connect with their ancestors. It is a really neat place to tour whether with a tour guide or walking around yourself.
5. Go on a Ghost or Vampire Tour
There are many different tours you can sign up for in New Orleans that start at the Voodoo Lounge. The one I suggest is the Ghost and Vampire Tour for all The Originals fans. It is spooky but also safe and a lot of fun. On the plus side you get 2 for 1 Hurricanes during your tour.
New Orleans is perfect for fun and adventure, especially if you are into the weird stuff. See the French Quarter have fun and explore the history of New Orleans. The more you find out, the more you understand why The Originals picked that place as home.
