Positioned alongside a branch of the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore is a vibrant, active seaport community and many of its most popular sights are found along the Inner Harbor. Crab is Baltimore’s specialty and its pride; Obrycki’s is famous for its seasonal softshell crabs while Phillips Seafood is best known for its delicious crab cakes. In a city where maritime pursuits are part of the city’s past and present, wildlife viewing at the National Aquarium and naval history tours of the U.S.S. Constellation are two of the top cultural activities. The Mount Vernon neighborhood is another top destination, where moving concerts at the Peabody Institute provide the perfect counterbalance to the city’s energetic atmosphere.
