Things to Do  

Inner Harbor

Inner Harbor, Baltimore

 95 Reviews  For the life of me, I cannot remember the tour boat we took around the Bay, but it had a large area open with seating all around and took us all around the Bay for about $15 per person---very much worth it when visiting Baltimore! Check around down by the harbor for the companies offering tours. 

National Aquarium

National Aquarium, Baltimore

 43 Reviews   The National Aquarium is located right at the Inner Harbor and is a favorite place for adults and children. It is not just about the fish, but the aquarium has birds, snakes, reptiles and amphibians. The Australian animal exhibit is fascinating. In the middle of summer the Aquarium is very... 

Fells Point

Fells Point, Baltimore

 18 Reviews  While the shipyards that attracted people from all over the world to settle in Fells Point may have been relegated to the historical archives, Fells Point international flavor remains palpable through the many shops here. Irish pub? Check. Sushi bar? Check. Greasy Chinese? Sure. Thai, El... 

Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon, Baltimore

 28 Reviews  The Peabody Institute is one of the top conservatory music schools in the U.S. While it is lovely, and one is able to take advantage of various concerts, a great draw when you're in the area is a visit to the incredible Peabody Library. This incredible library was built in the 1850s, and consists... 

Fort McHenry

Fort  McHenry, Baltimore

 21 Reviews   In 1814, Francis Scott Key was a prisoner on a British ship during the Battle for Baltimore. As the battle raged on all night long, Key wondered about the fate of those in the fort. As the morning light appeared, Key saw the flag still flying and knew that the USA had won the battle. From this...

Pier 5 Hotel

 4 Reviews and 362 Opinions  This hotel is comfortable, luxurious, conveniently located... and not cheap. Rooms are $350 per... 

Restaurants  

Phillip's Seafood

Phillip's Seafood, Baltimore

 5 Reviews  The restaurant's name says it all - it specializes in seafood in a very convenient location - the Harboplace at the Inner Harbor. Try their weekend seafood buffet - take a prophylactic anti-histamine before doing so - that basically serves everything and anything fished out of nearby Chesapeake Bay.... 

ESPN Zone

ESPN Zone, Baltimore

 8 Reviews  I recommend skipping this glorified sports bar unless you just have money to throw away. While visiting Baltimore's Inner Harbor for a conference, we found that our favorite (out-of-state) NCAA football team's noon kickoff game would not be televised locally. We wanted to find a sports bar where... 

Nightlife  

Inner Harbor / Downtown

Inner Harbor / Downtown, Baltimore

 27 Reviews  I accidentally walked up "the block" as the locals call it, and I knew where I was as soon as the first doorman approached me about free cover and discount dances.... I actually went in a couple of these spots, and as a bachelor I would recommend only Larry Flynt's Hustler Club, the others are a bit... 

Fell's Point

Fell's Point, Baltimore

 29 Reviews  Max's Taphouse may very well be Baltimore's premier beer pub. Max's is in the heart of historic Fells Point, just east of the Inner Harbor at Water Taxi Stop #11. With 140 rotating drafts, 5 Hand-Pumped Cask Ales, and a world-spanning collection of approximately 1200 bottled beers in stock, Max's is... 

Transportation  

Amtrak / Commuter Rail

Amtrak / Commuter Rail, Baltimore

 10 Reviews  The main rail station in Baltimore is Penn Station, about a 30-minute walk north of the Inner Harbor. From Penn Station, you have the choice of the MARC commuter rail's Penn Line to BWI Airport, Washington, DC and northern Maryland (Monday-Friday only), and AMTRAK rail service to Washington,... 

Light Rail

Light Rail, Baltimore

 12 Reviews  You have just arrived at Baltimore airport (BWI). You want to get to your hotel, lodgement ASAP but you dont want to blow money on a TAXI My advice. buy a single light rail pass that will take you into the heart of baltimore. It can drop you off on Baltimore street & from there you can walk to your... 

Shopping  

Harborplace & Inner Harbor

Harborplace & Inner Harbor, Baltimore

 10 Reviews  I'm not much of a shopper, and I haven't shopped here, but there are many different stores. If you want to shop here is an Alphabetic list of all stores (some are national chains that you will recognize) Amaryllis Ann Taylor April Cornell August Max Woman Auntie Anne's Hand-Rolled Soft... 

Other Places to Shop

Other Places to Shop, Baltimore

 6 Reviews  B&N has a huge store called Power Plant right on the Bay-----probably any newish book you want will be here---now that Borders has bitten the dust, B&N is one of the few big bookstores left and could use our patronage...... They do have a club with discounts for about $20 a year----- books retail

Scenes of Baltimore

Scenes of Baltimore, Baltimore

 14 Reviews  Charles North is bounded by Howard Street, Penn Station, St. Paul Street and 22nd Street It mostly has a transient rental population with many commercial properties. Good things about the area include Charles Theater, antique shops on Maryland Ave., and a new shopping center at Howard and 21st... 

The 'Hons' of Baltimore

The 'Hons' of Baltimore, Baltimore

 6 Reviews  Many Baltimoreans will call you "hon". Don't get offended....it's not meant to be an insult or degrading to women (and men). It's just a Baltimore thing. We call everybody "hon", whether we know your name or not. There's even a place called Cafe Hon, where you can grab a great meal and check out... 

Tourist Traps  

Inner Harbor

Inner Harbor, Baltimore

 20 Reviews  This is supposed to be one of the Inner Harbor's premier attractions. Well, there's not much to it. Located on the southwest side of the Inner Harbor, near Federal Hill, the building looks impressive. But once you get inside, and pay the $14.50 admission fee, you'll find that it's more of a... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Football - Raven's Stadium

Football - Raven's Stadium, Baltimore

 5 Reviews  When I was a kid, the football team in Baltimore was the Colts and the quarterback was Johnny Unitas. (I saw him in person once buying a suit in Schwartz Bros.) Then the Colts snuck out of town. The first new stadium in Baltimore (much admired) was Oriole Park (at Camden Yards). But we didn't have a... 

Baseball - Camden Yards

Baseball - Camden Yards, Baltimore

 20 Reviews  If it weren't for sports, Baltimore wouldn't have much. Luckily, Baltimore sport fans have many heroes, and those are well-deserved. One of the greatest is Cal Ripken, the "Ironman" of baseball. He broke Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played, then went on to stretch the record to... 

Favorites  

Inner Harbor / Downtown

Inner Harbor / Downtown, Baltimore

 20 Reviews  Baltimore has lots of monuments. They built the first monument in the US to George Washington back in 1829 (photo 5) The first photo is of a statue of John Mifflin Hood, early president of the Western Maryland Railway. Mr. Hood played an important role in shaping the Western Maryland Railroad (it... 

Fell's Point

Fell's Point, Baltimore

 6 Reviews  The television series Homicide: Life on the Streets became an international success in the late 1990's. The location used for the scenes at the police station house is located in Fell's Point. If your a fan of the series you can your photo taken outside the station house and also see the plaque...
