What is Baltimore like?

This bustling seaport in the state of Maryland nabbed its claim to fame with the penning of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Fort McHenry back during the War of 1812. And as you might expect, its arts and culture scene is as vibrant as ever. Grab yourself some first-class seafood and take a stroll through Baltimore's Inner Harbor, where live jazz music drifts through the crowds, and shopping and dining opportunities are abundant. This is just the beginning of what Baltimore has to offer.
