These Louisiana Cities Are Some Of The Most Fun In The U.S.

When you think of a "fun" city, you may picture the likes of New York City, Los Angeles or Las Vegas. However even some smaller cities where the cost of living is lower than large metropolitan areas still have some fun activities and exciting restaurants and bars that keep residents and visitors entertained.

WalletHub compared more than 180 cities, including 150 of the most populated cities, across the country to determine which are the most fun, and a few in Louisiana made the cut. One city even made the Top 5.

So which Louisiana cities are some of the most fun in the country?

• No. 5: New Orleans
• No. 49: Baton Rouge
• No. 110: Shreveport

Given its reputation as a travel destination, it comes as no surprise that New Orleans is near the top of the list. It ties for first in the most festivals per capita and received high marks in both the entertainment/recreation and nightlife/parties categories.

4. Miami, Florida
5. New Orleans, Louisiana
6. San Fransisco, California
