Fell’s Point

Baltimore’s history as one of America’s most important colonial seaports is alive and well in Fell’s Point.

Named for the Englishmen who founded a ship-building company here in 1726 that would go on to produce the famous Baltimore Clipper ships, Fell’s Point is a spirited waterfront community in perpetual celebration of Baltimore’s British nautical roots. Enjoy the 18th- and 19th-century homes and storefronts – most were once one of the “three B’s”: boarding houses, brothels or bars – along streets with names like Shakespeare and Fleet and know that the neighborhood’s visage has remained largely unchanged for the past several centuries.

Walk the Belgian Block streets and explore the unique shops of Thames Street and Broadway. Chesapeake Bay cuisine is at its best here, whether you crave oysters on the half shell at a local pub or upscale seafood at a charming romantic restaurant. Late at night, Fell’s Point’s many taverns and pubs come alive with revelers, so why not plan to stay for the night at a charming local B&B or inn?
