Things to Do in Inner Harbor
The Inner Harbor is Baltimore's signature waterfront and the first place many visitors head to. A brick promenade wraps around the basin, linking the National Aquarium, historic ships, the Maryland Science Center, and Harborplace to sightseeing cruises and paddle boats out on the water. Families come for the attractions, couples come for the waterfront dining, and everyone comes for the skyline views at sunset. Throughout the year the harbor hosts festivals, fireworks, and outdoor celebrations that draw crowds from across the region. With hotels, restaurants, and museums all within an easy stroll, the Inner Harbor packs a full day of things to do into one scenic loop.
