As you drive out from the airport, the landscape quickly transforms to lush greenery before the historic charm of Baltimore beckons.

Baltimore is a patchwork of distinctive neighbourhoods, each offering its own slice of the city’s buzzing culture quite unlike any other city in the whole of the USA. Drive to Hampden, an eclectic district known for its bold painted murals, bric-a-brac stalls, vintage shops, and quirky vibe. Walk along “The Avenue” (36th Street), where local artists, bohemian shops, and renowned cafes create a charming community atmosphere. Hampden is a great spot to try Baltimore’s famous crab cakes, a must-try dish loaded with juicy lump crab meat, often served with Old Bay seasoning - a memorable State of Maryland treat!
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is another iconic attraction set in a waterfront area featuring historic ships, the National Aquarium, and a busy collection of shops and eateries. Park your hire car nearby and enjoy a leisurely walk along the docks, where you can take in views of gleaming yachts on a backdrop of bustling city life. Step aboard the historic USS Constellation, a Civil War-era sailing ship, or visit the Maryland Science Center, where interactive exhibits capture the imagination of all ages. Nearby, the cobblestone streets of Fell’s Point, one of Baltimore’s oldest neighbourhoods, invite you to stroll among 18th-century buildings housing cozy pubs, charming cafes, and unique boutiques. This district has a spirited atmosphere, with live music often heard spilling from bars, while the smell of freshly baked bread from nearby bakeries fills the air. Don’t miss a stop at Bertha’s Mussels, a seafood lovers delight where Maryland’s famous steamed mussels are served hot, fresh and steaming.
For a taste of Baltimore’s artistic side, head to Station North, an arts and entertainment district bursting with street art, galleries, and theatres.
