Coming to
Baltimore by Boat? Travelers
looking for a smaller city that has lots of unique
and interesting attractions should not miss
Baltimore. This city has it all: great local
cuisine, a beautiful waterfront, and lots of great
sites for the whole family to visit. From crab
cakes to the Edgar Allen Poe House to the new
Camden Yards and Fort McHenry of "Star Spangled
Banner" fame, Baltimore has both history and fun
for all. The
new waterfront and Camden Yards are part of one
scenic stretch of downtown Baltimore that has
become the center of city life in recent years.
Camden Yards is the home of the major league
Baltimore Orioles, and the surrounding streets are
lined with small cafes, microbreweries, and
stores. Following
the street to the water, visitors can enjoy the new
Baltimore waterfront. The biggest attraction at the
waterfront is the National Aquarium, a
world-renowned aquarium packed with fish and
animals from Maryland coast and the Atlantic Ocean.
Look out for some great big crab legs!! If you want
to sample some of Maryland's famous seafood
cuisine, try the open-air mall that sits on the
waterfront. It is filled with arcades, shops and
restaurants catering to all tastes. This area is
the gateway to the Inner Harbor, featuring boat
rides and tours of the surrounding
waterways. Baltimore's
culture scene mixes traditional museums with
interesting historical diversions.The Baltimore
Museum of Art featuring a very large and impressive
collection of art from all periods and places. The
Maryland Science Center with exhibits,
demonstrations, an IMAX theatre and a planetarium.
Finally, the Walters Art Gallery features an
impressive collection of French Impressionist art
as well as large holdings of ancient Greek and
Roman works. ÝBut
history also abounds in Baltimore. Fort McHenry is
nearby, and it is the location of the fight that
prompted Francis Scott Key to write the "Star
Spangled Banner." The USS Constellation, the last
surviving ship from the Civil War, and the USS
Forrestal, America's first super carrier, can also
be seen. Old
Baltimore can be found in the neat tree lined
streets and neighborhoods dominated by simple row
houses. The Edgar Allen Poe House celebrates the
life and achievements of one of America's most
original writers who invented the detective story
and penned the eerie tale of "The Raven." Babe
Ruth's birthplace is now home to a museum dedicated
to his life and career as one of America's greatest
athletes. Visitors
to Baltimore find that a great deal to keep them
busy, from the waterfront to Camden Yards. People
come to Baltimore to enjoy art, culture, and more
than just a little history. Tourists can sample
crab cakes, tour the Inner Harbor, and take in a
ball game in one of America's most beautiful
stadiums all within downtown Baltimore. VISIT
