How To Visit Baltimore The Right Way
Baltimore, Maryland, is one city you cannot possibly take in all in one day or a week. There is too much history and too much to do that you must keep coming back to tick off your must-see and do items each time. Here are some great things about Baltimore to get you started on your next visit.
Visit the Water
While there are many ways to see the glittering waters of the Chesapeake Bay, if you have your own boat, make it easier by using the marina at the Baltimore Yacht Basin to reserve a slip and a shuttle to experience all that Baltimore has to offer.
With an accessible waterfront, you can take a water taxi to see some of the sights and enjoy the views from the water while you are underway. Or make it a picture-worthy moment by renting a Chessie Dragon Paddle Boat. This is a fun way to spend some time on the water for both kids and adults.
Put your body into it and incorporate a bit of exercise into your sightseeing by renting a kayak. You can go solo while following the safety protocols, of course, or take an informative guided tour at various destinations for a whole new way to experience the city in the fresh air, sunshine, and water.
Experience an Aquarium
The National Aquarium offers tours, experiences, and programs to delight everyone in your travel group. Diverse creatures are abundant here and will entertain, leave you in awe, and offer educational opportunities to give you a greater understanding of the animals and the world around you.
Take a specialized tour, watch a dolphin training session, or completely immerse yourselves in an overnight option with an Aquarium Sleepover package. Whatever you choose, be sure to block out many hours in your day so you can see as much as possible on this trip.

Enjoy the Food
You cannot visit Baltimore without partaking in the delicious food that seems to be around every corner. Baltimore is known for all things crab, such as crab cakes, Maryland Blue Crab soup, crab dip, and the list goes on.
There is something in Baltimore for everyone these days as their respective food scene has expanded into a wider variety of foods, including vegetarian and vegan options that co-exist on menus with traditional fare instead of being hard to find. In addition, many of Baltimore’s restaurants consistently make “Best of” lists in magazines and online.
As you prepare for your upcoming travels, use a packing list and check it twice to ensure you have everything you need when visiting the beautiful city of Baltimore. Of course, you can always pick up essentials as this locale will have anything you need. But wouldn’t you rather spend your free time seeing the sites instead of scouting sunscreen? Hint: You will want your sunscreen when you visit the harbor to enjoy the rays and amazing views any time of day.
