About Baltimore
Baltimore, Maryland's port city on the Chesapeake Bay, is a city of brick rowhouses, harbourside museums and a fort that inspired the national anthem.
Baltimore, a long-time port on the Patapsco River near the Chesapeake Bay, spreads around its Inner Harbor, where an aquarium, tall ships and a science museum sit beside a promenade. Fort McHenry, at the harbour's mouth, was bombarded by British ships in September 1814 and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star-Spangled Banner. Nearby, the cobbled waterfront of Fells Point is lined with eighteenth-century buildings, pubs and restaurants.
Top-ranked sights in Baltimore: Canton, Fell’s Point, Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine.
