Baltimore

Baltimore's Inner Harbor has been one of the key seaports in the United States since the 1700s. Here you can enjoy shopping, a cruise on the Spirit of Baltimore, or visits to the Maryland Science Center and the Baltimore Aquarium. You can even catch a water taxi to Fort McHenry.

A variety of great dining experiences include restaurants in Inner Harbor or visits to Little Italy or Fels Point. In Little Italy, where the same families have lived, worked - and cooked - for generations, you can experience the intoxicating aromas of garden-fresh basil and garlic-laden tomato sauce. Fels Point is a spirited waterfront community in perpetual celebration of Baltimore's British nautical roots. No visit to Baltimore can be complete without tasting Maryland crabs at any number of popular restaurants.
