A relaxed vibe permeates Baltimore, attracting millions of travelers each
year to this charming city overflowing with culture, crabs and historical
treasures—from waterfront communities to harbors to a myriad of
attractions, inviting hotels and delectable dining destinations.
While exploring Baltimore, stroll through the different neighborhoods
including the Inner Harbor district—a scenic waterfront that’s home to
dozens of retail shops, restaurants and museums. Other jaunts include
Little Italy, where you’ll smell aromas enticing your palate and senses in
this restaurant enclave.
The Westside’s African-American culture flourishes with shops and
entertainment. Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole
performed in Westside nightclubs during jazz music’s heyday. Experience
an eclectic atmosphere of urban hipsters and trendy boutiques in the old
mill town of Hampden, made famous by filmmaker and neighborhood
native John Waters.
Discover Baltimore’s British ancestry in Fells Point. The area is named
after English Quaker William Fell who founded a ship building company
here in 1726. Cobblestone streets lead the way to 18th- and 19th-century
homes, antique stores, pubs and Chesapeake Bay cuisine. Fells Point
also has a bohemian ambience comparable to Greenwich Village in New
York or Georgetown in Washington, D.C. The history-haven path
continues as you travel through Federal Hill, Mount Vernon and Canton.
