Baltimore trip planner

A major center for tourism and travel, Baltimore is famous as the city where amateur poet Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics for the United States' national anthem. One of the country's major ports, Baltimore sits on the Chesapeake Bay--a popular holiday destination in its own right. The city claims more than 300 officially designated neighborhoods (some just a few blocks large), making the metropolis a conglomeration of distinct places to visit ranging from heavily industrialized to recently gentrified. The heart of the city is its historical harbor, home to the lion's share of Baltimore's tourist attractions, including one of the world's largest aquariums. The city banks on its financial industry as well as professional and business services, education, and medical services for commerce. Baltimore is in Maryland (MD).
