Review & FAQ:
The capital of Louisiana, Baton Rouge is much more than a place to base yourself when exploring nearby New Orleans. The city is an excellent destination in its own right; it boasts plenty of interesting museums, art galleries, and historical sites, and it has more than enough restaurants, bars, and shops to keep visitors entertained for weeks. If you'd like to learn some new information about American history during your visit, good places to go include the Old Louisiana State Capitol, the USS Kidd Naval Museum, and the French Creole Magnolia Mound Plantation near the river.
