What’s the best driving route from Atlanta to New Orleans?

I’m taking my kids to see some gators in New Orleans—what’s the best driving route from Atlanta to New Orleans?

avatar
Jason Tushinski · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Driving from Atlanta,
Georgia
 to New Orleans,
Louisiana
 is about a 7 hour drive along I-85 S, I-65 S, and I-10 W, covering 470 miles. There’s plenty to see on the road from Hot’lanta to the Big Easy, so here are the highlights:
  • Before you leave
    Atlanta
    , make sure you grab plenty of edible items infused with peaches (this is the Peach State, after all), be they jams, pies, cobbler, ice creams, jellies etc.
  • Hop on I-85 S before stopping in
    Montgomery
    , Alabama and pay a visit to The Rosa Parks Museum
  • Head down I-65 S and stop in
    Mobile
     and carouse around on the USS Alabama, a World War Two-era battleship that’s anchored in Mobile Bay
  • Now, drive west along I-10 along the Gulf Coast and make a stop in
    Slidell
    , Louisiana, and stroll through Old Towne, with its quirky boutiques and restaurants, historic homes, antique stores and bumpin’ bars
  • Rattle in to
    New Orleans
    , take a carriage ride through the French Quarter, grab some gumbo and a few beignets, wobble down Bourbon Street, and see some alligators in City Park—the only place to spot alligators within the city of New Orleans
