Touring Baton Rouge with a Car Rental

Famous for a thriving music scene, southern style food and hospitality, as well as a great number of museums and tourist attractions, it's easy to see why Baton Rouge is a popular destination for travellers. A great way to start your visit is by heading to the tallest and best known building in the city, the Louisiana State Capital. At almost 140m tall, the building offers stunning panoramic views of the city from the observation deck on the 27th floor.

To see how the life in the area was before growth into a big city, jump in your rental car and head to the Louisiana Rural Life Museum, located just a short distance south of the city centre. Here you will find a recreated plantation as it would have been in the 19th century. Complete with houses of both wealthy farmers and slaves, collections of artefacts, and many locals to show you the traditional way of life, a visit here will give you an insight into the early days of the city.

While Baton Rouge has grown into a thriving metropolis, simply cruising the surrounding area in your rental car will reveal that in many parts of the state little has changed or been developed. Grand mansions and can fields abound, and a little south of the city you will find the famous swamps and lakes of the region, where you can go on an alligator tour of swamp boat ride. Just some of the many great attractions and activities you can choose from when holidaying here with your rental car.
