Baltimore Holidays
The heart of Baltimore, the Inner Harbour neighbourhood, is ideal for exploring on foot. The Harborplace and Gallery complexes are crammed with restaurants and elegant shops while the Baltimore Maritime Museum houses a collection of historic ships. See colourful Little Italy or Fell’s Point one of America’s oldest, liveliest and most picturesque maritime communities with its lovely cobbled streets, original gas lanterns and one-of-a-kind stores.
The Historic National Road begins here at water’s edge in the Inner Harbour and wanders out of the city via the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum and historic neighbourhoods including Union Square once home to the legendary writer, H.L. Mencken.
