Baltimore Vacation Guide

Baltimore hits a happy medium between the hectic frigidity of the Northeast and the lazy mugginess of the South. It has a homey, blue-collar atmosphere, much like Philadelphia or Boston, that is universally appealing. Known as 'Charm City,' Baltimore is unique and endearing in many ways.

The Inner Harbor downtown has been extensively revitalized since the early 1980's, and is a great destination on a sunny day: you can walk completely around the harbor or take a water taxi to the other side. You'll pass Harborplace, The Maryland Science Center, The National Aquarium, and many other tourist attractions. If you have time be sure to take in an Orioles or Raven's game at Camden Yards.

The trendy neighborhood of Fell's Point has long been a hot spot for restaurants, nightclubs and art galleries; more recently, Federal Hill and Canton have joined it in attracting a diverse crowd of locals.

Be sure to check out historical sites such as Fort McHenry, the USS Constellation, the Babe Ruth museum and neighborhoods such as Bolton Hill and Mt. Vernon, which have rich Civil War histories. And don't neglect the more offbeat places, like the American Visionary Art museum and Greektown, which make Baltimore the eclectic and unusual city we love so well!
