Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
St. Louis Cathedral Self-Guided iPad Tour: Begin your morning at the oldest continually active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States. Utilizing the TourPatron app (on a provided iPad or your own device), you will unlock the secrets of the cathedral’s Neo-Gothic architecture and its vibrant stained-glass windows. This interactive format allows you to pause and reflect under the soaring ceiling at your own leisure. Jackson Square & The Historic Core: Step out into the open air of Jackson Square. Observe the lively street performers and local artists who have made this park a creative hub for generations. This is the perfect window to visit the flanking Cabildo or Presbytère museums, or to enjoy a world-famous coffee and beignet at Café du Monde. The Old Ursuline Convent Museum: Conclude your expedition with a short walk to the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley. Completed in 1752, the convent offers a remarkable glimpse into early colonial life. Explore exhibits on the Ursuline nuns' groundbreaking work in education and healthcare, and finish your day with a quiet stroll through their serene, historic gardens.
