Baltimore, MD

Baltimore is a popular tourist destination in Maryland, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America, near Washington, D.C. It lies in an arm of the Chesapeake Bay and is a major U.S. seaport. It is sometimes referred to as the "city of neighborhoods". Most notable are three downtown areas along the port: the Inner Harbor, frequented by tourists due to its hotels, shops, and museums; Fells Point, and Little Italy.

This historic city offers many attractions, excellent restaurants and world-class sports. At the Inner Harbor is Harborplace, a downtown marketplace which is worth a visit, along with the National Aquarium, American Visionary Art Museum and Port Discovery.

The Mt. Vernon neighborhood is Baltimore's cultural heart. Located less than a mile north of the Inner Harbor, Mt. Vernon is home to the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, the Peabody Conservatory of Music and the Walters Art Museum, whose diverse collection spans 55 centuries.
