Holidays in Baltimore

Baltimore, stretching around the picturesque inner harbour in the Chesapeake Bay, is one of the most important, energetic and fun cities of the USA's Atlantic Seaboard. Baltimore holidays invite visitors to experience a city that was once at the centre of the USA's history and continues to thrive in the country's modern present day. With an entire range of accommodation options, a beautiful harbour, a unique urban landscape, a rich cultural scene and mild climate, Baltimore holidays remain extremely popular.

Planning Baltimore Holidays

Situated in the EST timezone (UTC-5, and -4 in summer), Baltimore is very easy to reach by train, bus or car if you are already in major nearby cities, especially New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, or by flights to Baltimore International Airport that can be arranged from the UK or booked last minute from most major US cities. The best time of year for Baltimore holidays is during its hot and humid summer, which never gets unbearably hot, and is a wonderful time to enjoy the colours of the city. However to many visitors, Baltimore holidays are just as beautiful in winter. As temperatures are mild, snow is rare and it is a good time to discover the dozens of world-class museums and art galleries that offer a glimpse into Baltimore's cultural history.

Baltimore Highlights

Much of the area's natural charm and highlights of Baltimore holidays are compacted to the central areas and can be explored on foot, subway or light-rail. Starting with the jewel in Baltimore's crown, the Inner Harbour, where the waterfront is a beautiful area for strolling or visiting the famous National Aquarium. Just around the water's edge are the fabulous 'Little Italy' restaurants, bars with scenic views, historic buildings and nightlife charm of Fells Point. If you are craving a shoulder-rubbing experience with the locals, venture across to the neighbouring Midtown area and get lost in the dazzling Lexington Market.
