About Baltimore

Baltimore is Maryland's largest city and a popular vacation destination. Nicknamed “Charm City,” Baltimore has become a top tourist destination. Baltimore was established by the colonial government in 1729 and thrived as a port city. Today, the city thrives around the original port and inner harbor area. The Inner Harbor is now the city’s central tourist location. Throughout the Inner Harbor, visitors will find relics of Baltimore’s fascinating maritime history intertwined with a number of contemporary attractions. These include the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, Port Discovery Children’s Museum, the updated Harborplace and The Gallery shopping centers, and the new sports stadiums for the Ravens and Orioles.

The city is easy to get to and easy to get around. Situated in the heart of the Eastern Seaboard, Baltimore is accessible by plane, train and highway. Its close proximity to New York, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia make it the ideal place to visit. You'll save time getting here and save time getting around, so you can make the most of your trip.
