Things to do in Baltimore, Maryland (MD): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

This is the first monument to Washington built in 1815, they have a small visitor center at the base of the monument and for a small fee of $6 you can climb the 277 stairs to the top. Spend the $6 for the experience of climbing up the well-worn stone steps to amazing 360 degree views of the Mount Vernon neighborhood. The monument is flanked on all 4 directions with slightly different neighborhood parks.

I had some out of town guests who are baseball fans so I took them to Camden Yards for a tour. The Oriole's Ballpark is just beautiful and the history and memorabilia are quite impressive; our guide was very knowledgeable; this is a very family friendly tour. My friends, who are avid baseball fans, said the tour was just as good if not better than watching a game. Very reasonably priced and several tours are given throughout the day. Even if you are not a fan this tour is a must see!
