  • Entering the tunnel - Baltimore
    Entering the tunnel

    I remember when this tunnel was first opened. It was in 1957 when I was in college. I never had a problem with the "Baltimore Bottleneck" because I didn't have to drive through the city, but before the tunnel was built Baltimore was considered to be the worst city in the US in taking care of through traffic. (I would have said that was Providence RI personally/)

    In 1963, I used to go to the now defunct Ft. Holabird to the commissary. In order to keep from going through the tunnel accidentally, I'd have get off the interstate at the fire academy tower and wend my way through the city to the post. The trip back was easier.

    I totally get the two tunnels mixed up. Plus I have a hard time remembering the name of the Ft. McHenry Tunnel because I get that mixed up with the Francis Scott Key Bridge. [Because Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner during the bombardment of Ft. McHenry.]

    They are the same price to go through all three of them ($2 for a passenger car). But remember to be aware of the speed limits - there are special tunnel police, and they patrol the entrances and connecting roads.

    My girl got into a little fender bender on the Baltimore Beltway.... this happened at only 15mph during some stop-n-go traffic. Be careful.

    I-95, that's the major highway along the East Coast.
    By car or walking around the harbour.

  • Drive into the Baltimore area or you can jump on the MTA right at the airport which would probably take you right into the area of your hotel.

    Grab yourself a map and travel the MTA or the Lite Line. These two train/trams will take you almost anywhere you want to go.
    Or very close to the area.

    We arrived by car though Baltimore is one US city that is well serviced by AMTRAK trains, being on the NYC-Philly-DC run. As expensive as parking can be, it's not as pricey as the train!
    Baltimore is a fairly compact town. The Inner Harbor area is easily explored on foot and Little Italy is a ten minute walk. Mount Vernon is thirty minutes uphill but well worth the effort. You can catch a water taxi to Fells Point though it is walkable during the day, it's not wise at night. Our friend here seems quite content to stay right where he is. ;)

    Car is about the only way to get around this city, unfortunately. There are some sites of interest in and around Inner Harbor within walking distance, but Fell's Point will take a car to access.

  • From the NYC area, it's an easy day trip down 95. It takes approximately 2 1/2 hours driving fairly fast. Watch out for speed traps, especially in Delaware where the state troopers cars are brown and blend into the scenery.
    Baltimore is seen best on foot or by water taxi. Buy an all-day water taxi pass for $5 and you can stop at several major tourist areas including the inner harbor and fells point.

    The large parking lot is directly across the street from the Aquarium, Power Plant and the World Trade Center.
    Walking.
