Baltimore, Maryland

Baltimore stands out for its world-renowned Inner Harbor. Each year thousands upon thousands of visitors flock to the inner harbor to enjoy sightseeing, boating, and having fun.

There are many things to see right at the Inner Harbor. Places like the Maryland Science Center. At the Science Center Children and adults alike will be able to partake in many of the hands on science and other fun activities. Another place of interest is definitely the National Aquarium. The aquarium is nestled right smack in between Harbor Place and the Science Center. It is home to sharks, dolphins and other sea creatures.

Not far from the Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, you have historic neighborhoods like Little Italy, and Greek Town. You will find city living at its best in some of these fine communities. In Baltimore, you will find antique shops, flea markets, farmers markets, unique shops and restaurants for every style and taste. Baltimore is the home of many kinds of ethnic, arts and music festivals. Baltimore embraces its history and you will see many places of interests such as Fort McHenry, The Betsy Ross Museum and museums such as the Walters Art Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Baltimore is a place that will appeal to families too. We have fun places like Port Discovery and the Baltimore Zoo. The Baltimore zoo is the third oldest zoo in the country. It consists of 160 sprawling acres, representing over 1,500 birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. They display the animals in their natural habitat.

Baltimore is also for sports buffs. We have the Baltimore Ravens for football lovers and the Baltimore Orioles for you baseball enthusiast. We have the Baltimore Blast if you enjoy soccer and then there is wrestling and other professional shows at the First Mariner Arena. As I said, there is always something to do and see just in the immediate Baltimore area. If Baltimore appeals to you please keep in mind that the opportunities are also endless as you discover the entire state of Maryland.
