Maryland is in the hub of action in the mid-Atlantic area of the United States. Known as the border state that separates Northern from Southern states, Maryland is surrounded by Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Baltimore is in the center of this hub as it is only 30 minutes to an hour away from Washington, D.C., depending on the time of day and the traffic. It is around 45 minutes away from Wilmington, DE, and around 1.5 hours from Philadelphia.
Baltimore has a ton of things to keep you busy and you should start with the Inner Harbor. This is where shops, restaurants, and museums collide for fun. Among those attractions is the Port Discovery Children’s Museum, considered to be a top museum in the country.
The most prominent thing in Baltimore is the National Aquarium on the harbor. You can spend an entire day there and, truthfully, it takes about that long to see all there is in it.
If you love history, the place to visit is Fort McHenry where Francis Scott Key penned the Star-Spangled Banner after patriots endured a horrific battle with the British.
Baltimore is a place for education, culture, and inspiring the creative spirit. It is a testament to the harbor and life intermingled and those who visit will quickly catch that spirit.
