Baltimore Holidays

Baltimore at a Glance

Known as the ‘city of neighbourhoods’, Baltimore is home to 72 different districts, all with their own bit of history, so the list of things to do here is endless. Situated along the Patapsco River, it has the largest seaport in the mid-Atlantic US and a great promenade to match.

You’ll Love a Baltimore Holiday if:

• You’re after a city break with plenty of sights to visit.
• You want a good place to explore other parts of America.

Things to do on your Holiday in Baltimore

When most people think of Baltimore, the TV show “The Wire” and popular musical “Hairspray” initially come to mind, but a holiday to Baltimore has so much more.

• The main pull of Baltimore is the diverse and interesting areas it has to offer. Mount Vernon, Baltimore’s elegant hub, is the traditional centre of cultural and artistic life – see the Washington Monument or go to Walters Art Museum to see Monet’s Springtime. If sports is more your thing, then baseball legend Ruth Babe has a dedicated museum or go see the Baltimore Orioles in action.

• Inner Harbour is a popular spot on holidays in Baltimore. Once full of warehouses and industrial buildings, the area has been rejuvenated and now there’s an attractive promenade with a great eating district. There’s also a big mall for those who want to fit some shopping time in on their Baltimore holiday. The area is also steeped in history – the last floating Civil War ship the USS Constellation is docked here, and you can also catch a water taxi to Fort McHenry, Baltimore’s fortress in the 1812 war. There’s also a maritime museum great for history-lovers, and for children the National Aquarium is a must. See mantarays, sharks and even a South Pacific reef and a rainforest on the roof.

• If you want some beach time on your holiday in Baltimore, then rent a car and drive to the lively beaches of Ocean City to catch the rays. A little further afield is Chesapeake Bay, with quieter beaches, the opportunity for fishing and the chance to have some relaxation time in a spa. Holidays in Baltimore are also a great base to travel around. Travel 45 minutes to the pretty state capital Annapolis, or visit the US capital Washington DC for sightseeing galore.

• Food comes in all shapes and sizes on holidays in Baltimore. Expect everything from burgers and buffets to Greek and seafood at Inner Harbour, traditional Italian trattorias in Little Italy and gourmet cuisine in Mount Vernon, so you can mix it up every night of the week on holidays to Baltimore. Nightlife is similar – while Mount Vernon offers chic cocktail bars for those looking for a post-dinner drink, Inner Harbour’s Power Plant Live! offers bars, nightclubs and restaurants for those wanting to party ‘till the early hours.
