Welcome to Baltimore
We are writing a new chapter in our history, fueled by cultural tastemakers and creative entrepreneurs. Today’s Baltimore is a vibrant community that honors the past while keeping a keen eye on the future. Our city is where you can see the largest public collection of Matisse in the world (for free!), sip a craft beer in the sanctuary of a converted church and stay in a four-star hotel poised atop an historic recreation pier. But the Baltimore experience is about more than exploring neighborhoods and cultural sites. To really know this place, you have to meet our artists, provocateurs and visionaries who call Charm City home. Come see why the New York Times named Baltimore one of 52 Places to Go.
An Instagram-worthy meal is closer than you think
Baltimore’s world-class dining scene may surprise you. Our restaurants have received recognition from Food & Wine, Zagat, Open Table and more, and multiple city chefs have been nominated for James Beard Awards. See, it’s more than just crabs and seafood (though we do love those). We have diverse international flavors, historic public markets and food halls, delicious vegan options, cocktails that will hit the spot and locally beloved breweries. Plus so much more you won’t want to miss out on.
Lose yourself in the arts and culture
We have plenty of museums and attractions to fill your itinerary in Baltimore. Immerse yourself in the arts at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Walters Art Museum, the American Visionary Art Museum or the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. Or spend a day of learning at the National Aquarium, Maryland Zoo or Maryland Science Center. We also have museums that cover very specific interests like streetcars, dentistry and and Jewish history.
