The Baltimore You Know—And Don’t Know
OK, you all know about the Star Spangled Banner. But where was ice cream invented - and cyberspace? Who built the first railroad on the planet? And the American Civil War - it started here.

Baltimore literally stands at the crossroads of history and innovation—with more incredible firsts than you might imagine. What's more, our port city retains an international flair, not only around its Inner Harbor, but also throughout its patchwork quilt of surrounding neighborhoods, each with their own individual charm and flavor.

And speaking of flavor, no visit to Baltimore is complete without a taste of our world-renowned Chesapeake Bay cuisine. It's why we've been called "the gastronomic capitol of the universe!"
