(ARA) - If you're planning a trip to the capital of Louisiana, you know there's plenty to see and do. Baton Rouge is the heart of the Deep South and offers something to inspire each and every one of your senses.
Here's how to get the full-body experience on your next trip to Baton Rouge:
Taste and smell:
First, research Baton Rouge hotels to find one that has an authentic Creole restaurant in it or one close by. The tastes and flavors of Louisiana are made real through authentic Cajun cooking and are something every visitor must experience.
What is Creole/Cajun cooking? It's a melting pot of cooking influences that often include some type of seafood (crawfish, oyster, shrimp, etc.) with rice and/or beans. Known for its vibrant and rich flavors, it can have a fair amount of heat as peppers are a common ingredient. Etouffee, jambalaya and gumbo are all classic dishes. Some Baton Rouge hotels pride themselves on featuring top Creole chefs at their hotel restaurants, so if you stay at one of those, you're in for an amazing foodie experience.
Sight:
Baton Rouge has historical significance because it developed on the first bluff upriver from the Mississippi River Delta, called Istrouma Bluff. Sightseeing opportunities include expansive views of the Mississippi River and surrounding land.
Downtown Baton Rouge has many opportunities for cultural experiences. Visit the Shaw Center for the Arts for museum, art and theater opportunities. If architecture is of interest to you, simply visit Louisiana State University. Throughout the campus, many of the buildings feature the classic Italian Renaissance-inspired design.
Hear:
If you're looking to hear some of the best jazz and blues musicians, you've come to the right place in Baton Rouge. Louisiana has a rich history in music, and every weekend you're likely to find a club or restaurant that features a band that plays jazz that will make your heart dance, or blues that will make your heart ache (but in a good way).
Many Baton Rouge hotels have a concierge that can guide you in finding the best club or venue to see live music while on your vacation. Getting advice on events and locations from a local helps ensure you have a musical experience you'll never forget.
Touch:
After a long day of sights, sounds and flavors of Louisiana, you might be in the mood for a bit of relaxation. The city is full of luxurious day spas that offer a variety of indulgent services like massage, facials, manicures and pedicures. Whether you spend an hour or a whole day, you'll feel rejuvenated and prepared to experience another exciting Baton Rouge day.
If you're ready to plan your trip to Baton Rouge, you can compare prices and book everything you need to have a great time when you visit www.Travelocity.com. Easy-to-use tools help you search by amenity, hotel price or star rating. You can even read user reviews so you know you'll stay at the best hotel for a great price.
