How to get to Baltimore from Washington DC

Submitted by Kenneth W.,

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I will be travelling to Washington DC in the end of October and then travel to Baltimore for a conference. Would you please let me know the kinds of public transportation available from Washington DC to Baltimore (I'll be staying at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Balitmore)? And how much would that be? Many thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

A: Train is your best bet.

Amtrak ($15 one way fare) has a station north of where you are staying -- but taxis and the free Charm City Circulator will get you back down to the Hyatt in no time.

If you are traveling during on a weekday, you could also take the MARC train (the local commuter train) which has a stop at Oriole Park at Camden Yards (only a 10-minute walk to the Hyatt). With luggage, you may want a cab or the Charm City Circulator, though. The MARC is an inexpensive way to go ($7), though it can be quite crowded since it's a popular way to commute. For all the details, visit http://mta.maryland.gov/services/marc/.

Hope that's helpful -- enjoy your visit to Baltimore.

I like this answer!
