Baton Rouge, the state capital, is a thriving metropolis and popular tourist destination. There are many lively festivals on the riverfront and the port is one of the largest in the US. There are several plantations in the area, each with their own story and there is public touring of the popular university LSU. The Vermilionville Museum is great for learning the deep history of Lafayette. For the history of the entire state, visit the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum in Shreveport. Northern Louisiana is great for fishers, hunters and anyone that enjoys outdoor activities. And there’s always a party at Mardi Gras, where you can find great music, spicy Cajun food, costumes, festivals and a city full of night life.
