• In the Neighborhood - Baltimore is a city of eclectic and bustling
  neighborhoods, and it is hard to pick just one favorite area of
  Baltimore. A few areas that visitors will not want to miss include
  hipster Mount Vernon, historic Fell's Point, funky Canton, quirky
  Hampden, upscale Harbor East, emerging Station North Arts &
  Entertainment District, and a slice of Europe in Little Italy. Variety
  is the key ingredient in Baltimore's neighborhoods - each location has
  its own unique personality, lively character and story to tell. Together
  the neighborhoods create the rich tapestry that makes Baltimore a cozy,
  interesting and real city with small-town charm.

• The crown jewel of downtown Baltimore, is the vibrant and beautiful
  waterfront. The waterfront is home to dozens of shops, eateries and attractions, all
  within walking distance of more than 20 major hotels and the expansive
  Baltimore Convention Center. Take advantage of the diversity of
  Baltimore's downtown attractions.

• Culture Haven, At the Right Price - With over 20 museums and galleries
  located in the heart of Baltimore, arts and culture lovers might have to
  add an extra day to their trip. Two world-class museums, the Baltimore
  Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum, have permanently eliminated
  admission fees, so that the treasures inside can be enjoyed by everyone.
  Kids of all ages can step back and witness the history of pop culture at
  Geppi's Entertainment Museum or view nontraditional, original works by
  self-taught artists at the American Visionary Art Museum.

• Bring Your Appetite - Baltimore is becoming a "can't miss" destination
  for culinary travelers in the United States. A city with a "no velvet
  ropes" policy, Baltimore's cuisine has a comfort vibe that is
  recognizable in restaurant service and cozy, yet upscale, atmospheres
  with diverse menus to please every palate. Dining in Baltimore provides
  a great variety of neighborhood treasures, from Faidley's famous crab
  cakes at Lexington Market to sampling celebrated chef John Shields'
  creations at Gertrude's in the Baltimore Museum of Art. However,
  Baltimore is more than just crab cakes - there is so much more to
  Baltimore's culinary scene, including locally owned restaurants where
  chefs are having fun with food, true farm-to-table experiences and the
  freshest Chesapeake Bay seafood around.

• Take a Pass at Top Attractions - No one likes standing in line for
  tickets at one attraction after another. The Harbor Pass enhances the

  and art galleries are a shopper's paradise. From the perfect party dress
  to a unique piece of antique furniture or a contemporary sculpture,
  Baltimore's shops let every visitor take home a piece of the city. Don't
  leave without stepping foot in shops such as Trixie's Palace, fashion
  boutique Cupcake or art galleries such as the Light Street Gallery. Or,
  pick up the latest new handbag at Harbor East's Handbags in the City and
  window shop the quaint row of South Charles Street boutiques found in
  Federal Hill. If unique and original is what you seek, Baltimore
  shopping has it all.

• African American History - A number of African Americans were integral
  in shaping the cultural, social, political and economic fabric of
  Baltimore and our nation. Their contributions remain a vital component
  to the city's heritage and even inspired a Broadway play - "Thurgood," -
  based on the life of Baltimore's Thurgood Marshall. Baltimore's rich
  African American history and attractions are one of the city's greatest
  draws. Top attractions include the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, Frederick
  Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park Museum, the National Great Blacks
  In Wax Museum, the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural
  Center, and the Dorothy Parker Memorial.

• Meet Me in Baltimore - Baltimore is undergoing a major renaissance
  including groundbreaking growth in accommodations and meeting

• A Cleaner, Greener, Healthier City - Baltimore is cleaner and greener
  than ever before. Baltimore has cleaned up its act with new citywide
  cleaning initiatives; expansions to parks and trailways; and a new,
  greener infrastructure. Rent a bike in the harbor and enjoy Baltimore's
  fresh air as you pedal along the recently expanded Gwynns Falls trail -
  spanning 15 miles and connecting more than 30 neighborhoods - or walk
  the more than seven miles of waterfront promenade surrounding
  Baltimore's picturesque harbor. Check out the new Hilton Baltimore's
  "green roof" which turns otherwise useless space into green space or
  stay at Baltimore's first LEED-certified green hotel, the Fairfield Inn
  & Suites, and hop an environmentally friendly ride on the new Super
  Shuttle buses that will take you anywhere you want to go - for free!

  restaurants, eateries and food vendors scattered throughout Harborplace
  and the surrounding area. With so many delicious options, we are
