A capitol building the tallest of any US state, plantation homes along the river telling an increasingly honest version of their own history, and a Cajun and Creole food scene close enough to New Orleans to borrow its reputation without the crowds.
The best time to visit Baton Rouge is Mar–May, Oct–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (79°F).
