For your convenience, we recommend taking a taxi or using public transportation when traveling around the city. Parking in both Uptown and Downtown New Orleans is hard to come by, and garage parking at downtown hotels can be expensive.
A taxi ride within the city will cost you $3.50 plus $2.00 per mile or .25 per every 40 seconds of waiting time (stuck in traffic, etc) plus $1.00 for each additional passenger

If you're driving to campus, we recommend you plan to arrive early enough to find parking and walk to Gibson Hall from your vehicle. There are six parking spaces in Cowen Circle outside the admission office for daily admission visitors, but parking on and around Tulane's campus can be very limited, especially for larger vehicles. Please note that the only other available spaces on campus are metered; unmarked spaces require annual parking permits every weekday. Visitors may also look amongst limited street parking in front of campus along St. Charles Avenue.
