Charm City (Baltimore)
Baltimore, known to locals as Charm City, is Maryland's crowning glory and offers a bounty of charming neighborhoods that each boast their own distinct identity and appeal. Start off your day right and step back in time at the historic Inner Harbor, where ships would once dock to deliver goods from around the globe. Don't miss the National Aquarium either - an aquatic marvel that features over 20,000 aquatic animals! At Fells Point, after you've had enough history and aquatic life, enjoy some locally brewed beer! And we aren't done! Don't leave without visiting the American Visionary Art Museum first: you won't find its whimsical works at any other museum! For something else unique to Baltimore, try staying at ROOST Baltimore: a contemporary apartment meet intimate boutique hotel set smack dab in downtown.
A Glimpse of the Past in Annapolis
Annapolis, Maryland's Capital City, offers a window into its past. Meander through its charming cobblestone streets and experience its nostalgic atmosphere! At Newport, known as the "Sailing Capital of the U.S.," don't be surprised if you feel inspired to explore the open ocean. Visit the United States Naval Academy to take in its rich military history and gain some inspiration! Patriarchy at its best. Architecture enthusiasts should visit the Maryland State House, which proudly holds onto its title of being the oldest (dated 1772) state capitol still in continuous legislative use. If seafood is your thing, Cantler's Riverside Inn serves up delicious seafood dishes to satisfy all cravings! Before calling it a day at City Dock make sure to catch its stunning sunset for one last hurrah; Annapolis truly feels like living history book!
