Once one of the busiest ports in the United States, the former run
down Inner Harbour of Baltimore is now a restored brainchild of former mayor, Donald
Schaefer.
And very touristy it is too -- a five square block of waterside
bounded by the National Aquarium, Harborplace, the Maryland Science Center, and a flotilla
of ships to welcome you aboard.
Baltimore Sightseeing
While a visit to Harborplace and Federal Hill should be on your
agenda, don't forget the genuine neighbourhoods.
You can take a water taxi across the harbour to Fell's Point, for a
social encounter with real life streets.
Little Italy is between Harborplace and Fell's Point. Buses 7 and 10
leave from Pratt Street to Abermarle Street. Plenty of Italian ristorantes, of course.
Many macabre types come to Baltimore to visit the grave of Edgar Allan
Poe, while baseball fans know Baltimore as the birthplace of Babe Ruth.
Another famous site, is the Basilica of the Assumption; the first
Roman Catholic cathedral built in the United States (1806 to 1821).
The city also erected the first monuments to Christopher Columbus
(1797) and George Washington (1815-1829).
