Inner Harbor
Every year the Baltimore Inner Harbor is the home to an authentic German Christmas Market. It is worth a visit as it is filled with vendors who sell authentic German food, hot drinks, and holiday gifts. Open now through Christmas Eve! Click on link to learn more, and for parking information.
Federal Hill
The view from here is spectacular. You can see the entire Baltimore skyline from above the inner harbor. Then take a brief stroll on Montgomery Street to see the gorgeous historic homes in Federal Hill.
Canton
In 1785, Captain John O'Donnell settled in Baltimore along the water in the inner harbor, currently known as Canton. German, Irish and Polish communities lived in the town, and large industrial companies made their way here in the 19th century. Now, Canton is known for Canton Square on O'Donnell Street, Waterfront Park, and Patterson Park.
Locust Point
The Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine is where our national anthem was born during the War of 1812. It currently features a museum as well as a park. The museum has a short video inside that is very much worth watching and makes you feel "Proud to be an American." Then you can explore the Fort. Afterwards, walk the 1-mile path around the Fort for one of my favorite strolls in Baltimore.
