Baltimore was once one of the most important port towns in the US, and Fort McHenry, which sits in the mouth of its Inner Harbour was the birthplace of the US National Anthem, Star-Spangled Banner.

These days the city is a vibrant and edgy city, full of boutique hotels, world-class museums, and trendy farm-to-table restaurants. It carries the nickname ‘Charm City’, and it isn’t hard to see why. There are streets of brightly painted houses, one in three buildings is listed on the National Register, and the locals are warm and friendly.

Baltimore is famous for its crab, including crab cakes filled with delicious crab and spices. Locals will often throw crab feasts or dinner parties involving crab, so be sure to try some while you’re visiting.

Locals have a great love of sports and come out in droves to support their local teams including the Baltimore Ravens football team, and the Baltimore Orioles baseball team.
