More about Baton Rouge
Why go to Baton Rouge?
Pros:
As the capital of Louisiana, Baton Rouge has a bit of history to explore including a former World War II battleship
Cons:
This city doesn't offer much of the culture you may think of when Louisiana comes to mind
Bottom Line:
If you're into governmental history stick around Baton Rouge, otherwise head out to the nearby swamps
Currency & Best Way to Get Money?
Louisiana only seems like a foreign country; the U.S. dollar is the only currency accepted. Credit cards are also widely available. ATMs are available once you leave the levee; the closest one is on Third Street, a short walk. There's also an ATM in the Belle of Baton Rouge casino.
Language?
English is the language spoken, but you should expect a Southern drawl.
