Baton Rouge, LA

Louisiana's capital city retains a friendly, small-town feel. Stroll the riverfront, sample Cajun, Creole and Old South cuisine, and learn about the state's colorful history. Excursions include visits to the Rural Life Museum, an outdoor museum where 20 buildings re-create life in pre-Industrial 19th-century Louisiana. Among other notable sites: the Old State Capitol, the Greater Baton Rouge Zoo and the USS Kidd, a World War II destroyer docked on the Mississippi River. For sweeping views of the city and river, visit the 27th-floor observation deck of the current state capitol.
