As soon as you arrive in Baltimore, you will feel the city’s energy immediately. The city is home to some of the most iconic landmarks in the country, such as the Inner Harbor and the National Aquarium. The Inner Harbor, the heart of Baltimore, is a hub of activity with plenty of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. If you’re interested in learning about the city’s history, take a stroll to the nearby American Visionary Art Museum, which showcases innovative and unique art created by self-taught artists.

Baltimore is also renowned for its seafood, particularly the famous Maryland crab cakes. You can find this signature dish in almost every restaurant in the city, but for the best experience, we suggest heading to Faidley's Seafood, a local institution since 1886. The market is located in Lexington Market and offers a variety of fresh seafood options that will tantalize your taste buds.
