The center of Lafayette, Louisiana, is taken up by the gorgeous architecture of the University of Louisiana campus, with many charming residential neighborhoods wrapped around the campus. The campus is well worth a walking trip and a visit to the University Art Museum, showcasing the art history of Southwestern Louisiana. The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist is a quasi-Romanesque brick cathedral in Lafayette that is definitely worth a visit. The Lafayette Science Museum makes a great day trip for geeks of all ages, with an amazing collection of dinosaur bones, a planetarium and a remarkable exhibit on the history of space travel.
Lafayette is about 135 miles west of New Orleans and 218 miles east of Houston on Interstate 10. Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) is located right outside the city center and handles flights to regional airports throughout the Southern and Eastern United States. Baton Rouge International Airport (BTR), located about an hour's drive from Lafayette, handles many domestic and international flights.
Weather in Lafayette is moist all year-round, and temperatures rarely fall below 40 degrees in the winter months. Befitting a university town, Lafayette has plenty of bars and clubs within city limits. The nighttime revelers of Lafayette are largely university students, but travelers of all ages can find a watering hole to their liking anywhere along Jefferson or Johnston Streets.
