Baltimore
Baltimore isn’t the most populous city in the state of Maryland for nothing. ‘Charm City’ features a rich African American history, delightful seafood, magnificent views of the harbor, and a variety of tourist destinations.
It’s no surprise that Baltimore is historically known for its seafood since it borders the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Locals and travelers alike rave about the oysters, crab, and fish.
After a bite to eat, be sure to check out Fort McHenry, the bastion that thwarted the British attack on the Chesapeake Bay in 1814. Or, if you’re looking for something more lively and entertaining, give the cultural melting pot of Fells Point a go for some music and dancing.
When to Visit Baltimore
Baltimore is a very popular tourist destination during the summer months of June, July, and August. Although this city often has cold winters, the summertime climate in Baltimore ranges from 80 to 84_.
Where is Baltimore?
Baltimore is located in north-central Maryland on the Patapsco River just beside its entry point to the Chesapeake Bay. The line that divides Baltimore from ‘lower city’ to ‘upper city’ is known as the distance between the Piedmont Plateau and the Atlantic coastal plain. This stretch of land is home to important historical monuments, museums, and eateries.
Home to 585,708 residents, Baltimore is the 30th most populous city in the United States, and welcomes millions of travelers per year into the ‘Charm City.”
Baltimore charter flights often land at the Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI), which is 10 miles south of downtown. Neighboring airports include the Martin State Airport, which is 10 nautical miles east of Baltimore, and Essex Skypark, which is just three miles to the southeast.
Baltimore Attractions
Not only is this city home to the B&O Railroad Museum, the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House, and the George Peabody library, but many historical figures have come from Baltimore.
Tourists can learn about the upbringing and everyday lives of legendary baseball player Babe Ruth and renowned poet Edgar Allan Poe at the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum and Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum.
From the Washington Monument to the National Aquarium, to Walters Art Museum, and the eateries and bars of the Inner Harbor, travelers will thank themselves for visiting one of the most historical destinations in America.
