You can easily spend your days ticking off all of downtown Baton Rouge’s most important attractions, including the Louisiana State Capitol and the Old Governor’s Mansion. Baton Rouge may tend to get overshadowed by its glitzy and glamorous neighbor, New Orleans, but pay a visit to Louisiana‘s capital city, and you’ll quickly see why that’s a big mistake! With its excellent museums, farm-to-table Southern-style restaurants, and prime position on the Mississippi River, there’s a lot to love about Baton Rouge.
