Things to Do in Federal Hill

South BaltimoreSouth Planning DistrictZIP 21230

Federal Hill rises just south of the harbor, crowned by the historic park whose summit offers one of the best skyline views in Baltimore. Below it, a tight grid of rowhouse streets is packed with neighborhood bars, restaurants, and shops centered on Cross Street Market, a revived food hall that anchors the area's social life. It is a classic pre-game and post-work destination, close enough to the stadiums to fill up on Ravens and Orioles days and lively every weekend with brunch crowds and happy-hour regulars. Between the market, the park, and the dense strip of taverns, Federal Hill delivers a lot of energy in a compact, walkable footprint.
