While offering similar types of shops, the Royal Street experience differs significantly from Magazine Street. First, located a block away from Bourbon street, the French Quarter location is reflected in stunning architecture and cobblestoned streets. Higher-end jewelry, art and antique shops are the specialties on this strip, which also has a handful of very nice hotels. And don't forget that the French Quarter is a living neighborhood, complete with an elementary school, hardware store, vet and a supermarket. The heart of the street is closed to car traffic during the day, making it an easy pedestrian destination.
