Baltimore

Baltimore, MD

Charm City on the Chesapeake — the harbor and the star fort where the national anthem was written, a top aquarium, cobblestoned Fell's Point, and steamed blue crabs.

Where to stay

  • An Inner Harbor or Fell's Point hotel

    Inner Harbor for the sights; Fell's Point for the cobblestones and pubs.

You gotta eat this

  • Steamed blue crabs & Old Bay

    A newspaper-covered table, a mallet, and a dozen crabs — the Maryland ritual.
