Baltimore City

No wonder it’s called Charm City!

Baltimore offers visitors a variety of choices in both dining and entertainment. Enjoy an authentic Italian dinner in one of quaint Little Italy’s many restaurants. Then stroll to a ball game to watch the Orioles play in their new stadium, Oriole Park at Camden Yards. After the game, enjoy historic Fells Point, once a seafaring center, now filled with pubs, shops and restaurants. Take in the 19th century homes in Mount Vernon or savor the fine cuisine of Federal Hill restaurants.

Cultural attractions are not lacking either. Take in the beautiful sounds of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Museum lovers can explore the antiquities found at the Walters Art Gallery or the modern paintings at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Baltimore’s renaissance began decades ago with the development of the Inner Harbor with its many fine restaurants and home to the Maryland Science Center and IMAX Theater and the National Aquarium. Recent additions include the Port Discovery Children’s Museum and the Power Plant entertainment and shopping complex. Nearby find the first-of-its-kind ESPN Zone restaurant and arcade. And, not far from Oriole Park stands PSINET Stadium, home of the 2000 Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens.

Other great attractions await. Visit Fort McHenry where “The Star-Spangled Banner” was penned. And see the original document at the Maryland Historic Society. Tour the USS Constellation, the last all sail warship built by the United States. And visit the Baltimore Zoo featuring a top-rated children’s zoo.

And there’s more. The B&O Railroad Museum, birthplace of the American railroad. Then go back in time to see Babe Ruth’s birthplace and Edgar Allen Poe’s grave sight where, every year on the date of his death, a “mysterious stranger” lays flowers on his grave…a stranger who no one has ever seen.

Baltimore is indeed a unique blend of old and new offering big city excitement and small town neighborliness.

No wonder it’s called “Charm City”.
