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).
In 1632 Lord Baltimore chose the name of Maryland, in
honour of Henrietta Maria, the wife of Charles I.
States neighbouring Maryland are: Virginia,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania
and Delaware.
Maryland stretches from Ocean City on the Atlantic Coast, to Deep
Creek Lake in the Allegheny Mountains.
Other popular areas in Maryland include Catoctin Mountain Park,
Greenkelt Park, and Piscataway Park.
National Aquarium:
The Aquarium is located at 501 East Pratt Street, Baltimore; the anchor to
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

Severn River, near its mouth on Chesapeake Bay, in the central part of the state.
From November 26, 1783, to June 3, 1784, Annapolis served as the
capital of the United States and the State House (1772-1780), is the oldest US State
Capitol in continuous legislative use.
