Baltimore Travel Guide
Situated roughly 50 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., Baltimore has all the advantages of proximity to the nation's capital, in addition to having an enchanting history and character of its own.
Famed for historical figures ranging from Charles Carroll and Edgar Allan Poe to Babe Ruth, Frank Zappa and John Waters, Baltimore boasts an array of artistic and cultural landmarks as well as historical sites dating back to Revolutionary War times.
But Baltimore is not stuck in the past. A growing green-business community is bringing City policies up the minute to reflect global-warming concerns.
