Baltimore’s Waterfront
The Baltimore Inner Harbor has food markets, restaurants and shops in abundance.  Nearly year round there are acrobats, street musicians and magicians for your entertainment.  Whether you want an Irish pub or a rowdy sports bar, the Inner Harbor has it all. 

In addition to a diverse selection of eateries, the Inner Harbor boasts several major attractions such as the National Aquarium, The USS Constellation and the Maryland Science Center. 

The Inner Harbor is the gateway to explore other areas of Baltimore through water taxi service.  The water taxi services local area attractions and neighborhoods and the fee is $8.00 (cash only) for one day of unlimited use.  For more information about Baltimore water taxi service, please visit www.thewatertaxi.com. 

Little Italy
The Little Italy section of Baltimore is easily reached by cab, horse and carriage or water taxi (carriage and water taxi service originates from the Inner Harbor).  Little Italy is a neighborhood nestled between the Inner Harbor and Fell’s Point.  Little Italy has numerous restaurants and shops to explore. 

Fell’s Point
Fell’s Point is the oldest residential neighborhood in Baltimore and is easily reached via water taxi service.  This charming neighborhood is home to the Robert Long House, the oldest existing residence in Baltimore, as well as numerous restaurants and shops.  This neighborhood features colorful row houses with secret gardens along cobblestone streets.  Bicycle rentals are available to explore this historic district.  Dining options run the gamut from sushi to Mexican to seafood in this exciting maritime neighborhood. 

Mount Vernon Cultural District
The Mount Vernon cultural district features stunning architecture and parks including the Washington Monument - the first monument in the United States honoring George Washington.  This district is filled with galleries including the Maryland Historical Society and the Walters Art Museum.  From antiques to cupcakes to vintage clothing, this area is rich in eclectic shops to explore.  The Basilica of the Assumption, the nation’s oldest Catholic cathedral, is also in this district.  A massive restoration project was just completed in November of 2006 at the Basilica.

Federal Hill
Just south of the Inner Harbor is the charming neighborhood of Federal Hill.  The hub of this neighborhood is Cross Street Market, a recently restored 19th century marketplace.  Federal Hill features federal style townhouses and at just a 10 minute walk from the Inner Harbor, is a must see in Baltimore.

Historic Sites
Baltimore is a city steeped in American History.  The Star Spangled Banner Flag House celebrates the life of the woman who made the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.  Fort McHenry is on the Inner Harbor and accessible via water taxi.  Fort McHenry is known as the birthplace of the national anthem as Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem that became the anthem as the British bombarded Fort McHenry.
