About Baltimore

Flag of Baltimore

 

 Baltimore is Maryland's largest city and a popular vacation destination.  Nicknamed “Charm City,” Baltimore has become a top tourist destination.  Baltimore was established by the colonial government in 1729 and thrived as a port city. The City is named after Lord Baltimore in the Irish House of Lords, the founding proprietor of the Maryland Colony. Today, the city thrives around the original port and inner harbor area.  Throughout the Inner Harbor, visitors will find relics of Baltimore’s fascinating maritime history intertwined with a number of contemporary attractions. These include the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, Port Discovery Children’s Museum, the Harborplace and The Gallery shopping centers, and the new sports stadiums for the Ravens and Orioles.
