Baton Rouge Travel Guide

Louisiana, United States

Baton Rouge is Louisiana’s capital and a city of 228,590 people in the southern United States. It sits inland in the Central Time Zone, rather than on the Gulf Coast.

Most visitors arrive through Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR), the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Baton Rouge is better treated as an inland city break than a beach base.
