About Baltimore

Located by Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore is a waterfront town offering cultural and economic diversity. It also has plenty of history-it is the birthplace of Babe Ruth, the final resting spot of Edgar Allen Poe, and the city where the "Star Spangled Banner" was written. Often referred to as "Charm City," Baltimore has several inviting regions. Downtown's Inner Harbor offers the Columbus Center of Marine Research, and water taxi rides to Fort McHenry. Mount Vernon is the city's cultural hub, featuring art, music, dining and history. Little Italy has the genuine feel of its European namesake. Nearby, Fells Point is a maritime district offering cobblestone streets and cozy pubs. Other attractions include the 178-foot Washington Monument, the B&O Railroad Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, as well as M&T Bank Stadium (home of the Ravens), and Camden Yard (home of the Orioles).

Did you know?

Take me out to the ballgame! Camden Yards is home to the Baltimore Orioles. For real, behind the scenes action, take a tour of the stadium. It was built in 1992 and has set a standard for baseball stadium design. If a game is what you want to catch, plan ahead, as many games sell out!
