Downtown & Mid City

The historic urban core of Baton Rouge, centered on the Louisiana State Capitol and stretching south along the Mississippi River bluffs through the Garden District, Spanish Town, and Beauregard Town. Mid City, anchored by Government Street, is the arts-and-dining corridor that connects downtown to the LSU campus area. This is the walkable, culture-rich heart of the capital city, with Third Street as the main downtown commercial spine.
