The Inner Harbor is the center of activity for visitors to Baltimore. Baltimore's harbor connects the city to the Chesapeake Bay. In the Inner Harbor area you'll find the glass enclosed market of Harborplace, the National Aquarium, the restored U.S. Frigate Constellation, the Maryland Science Museum and Davis Planetarium, and Oriole Park at Camden Yards. 

Baltimore has several good entertainment venues. Consider seeing a concert or show while you're in town. Plus, there are plenty of spectator sports options, with the Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Ravens, and Baltimore Blast all playing downtown.

Fort McHenry is located on the harbor and accessible by water taxi.  This is where, during the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key spotted the flag flying, providing the inspiration for the Star Spangled Banner.
