15 Best Things To Do in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Picture of Baton Rouge, Louisiana

About Baton Rouge, Louisiana


The capital of the Louisiana State, Baton Rouge, is a picturesque city sitting on the side of the famous Mississippi River. While the city is alive all through the year, it particularly blooms in fall and spring when the temperature is just right to enjoy the scenic views, hike up trails, and stay close to nature.

Baton Rouge is also home to the Old State Capitol Building - which is a Gothic-Revival piece of architecture standing strong since 1847 - and other attractions, such as the LSU Rural Life Museum, where there’s a lot to learn about the region’s history. On top of that, the Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center - spanning 103 acres and featuring artifact displays beside the regional flora and fauna - is the perfect daytime adventure for nature lovers.
