Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

Stunningly beautiful Cathedral with high vaulted ceilings exquisitely adorned. Huge columns with beautiful stained glass windows that allow the filtered sunlight in reflected in a rainbow of magnificent colors.

In all the years that we have been coming to the Zion Church for their Sour Beef Event in October, we never have been in the church. Thanks to Doors Open Baltimore, we were able to visit the church. The church was founded in 1755 and is the oldest Lutheran Congregation in Maryland. This German church has been in continuous use since 1807. It was built by German immigrants and the building highlights the beautiful wood carvings and stained glass windows from Germany. We found it interesting that the windows in the main church are not stained glass, but pictures painted on glass. The only stained glass windows are the upper windows.
