City Information
New Orleans



New Orleans is the most populous city in the southern state of Louisiana and one of the most popular party destinations in the whole world. Known as The Big Easy, New Orleans is famous for its distinct French-Spanish architecture, Creole cuisine, and unique music. Around the globe, New Orleans is best known as the host city of Mardi Gras, a late-winter carnival known for flashy costumes and never-ending street parties. Because of that, NOLA is consistently among the preferred vacation destinations among spring breakers and post-grad travelers.
There’s a lot more to New Orleans than just partying, though. While you’re in town, connect with the artistic side of your personality with a visit to the famed New Orleans Museum of Art where you will find the South’s most impressive collection of French and American art. A visit to the Big Easy will not be complete without stopping by some of the city’s iconic cemeteries. Whether you take a guided tour or you explore on your own, you will learn a lot about the area’s history and urban legends.
New Orleans is one of the main economic and commercial centers of the U.S. Gulf Coast region, and as such it is easily accessible by all kinds of transportation. The airport is located not too far from the city center, while the city’s main bus and train station, the Union Passenger Terminal, is placed right in the heart of downtown New Orleans.
Greenwood

Greenwood is a city in Mississippi, at the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta region. It is also called the Cotton Capital of the World and is the center of the civil rights movement in the United States. Greenwood was pushed under the national spotlight after the murder of Emmett Louis Till. This triggered civil rights movements in the city, and you can pay your respects at the Emmett Till Historical Marker. Greenwood features diverse historical sites and museums like the Fort Pemberton Memorial Park and Museum of the Mississippi Delta. You can expect a gorgeous view from the Tallahatchie Bridge or take walks on the Mississippi Blues Trail.
Greenwood is constantly organizing festivals like the AgFest celebrating the agriculture community and the Stars & Stripes Festival, which pays tribute to veterans. The downtown area is the best place to explore and is highly walkable, so you can take a self-guided tour and visit the local stores and restaurants. Once night falls, you can check out the theatres and arenas for shows or have craft beers at some of their cafés and bars.
Amtrak has daily trips to Greenwood from nearby cities. Bus lines are provided within the town by the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
