Visit Baltimore, Charm City

Baltimore is where art lovers, history buffs, sports fanatics, and foodies can come together to enjoy authentic experiences - whether that means exploring the diverse array of culinary options, uncovering the cutting-edge history of its most storied neighborhoods, or getting out on the water.  Baltimore is a vibrant city where you can see the largest public collection of Matisse in the world (for free!), sip a craft beer in the sanctuary of a converted church, or explore the neighborhood that was the inspiration for John Waters' iconic film, Hairspray. Learn more about all Baltimore has to offer.

We hope you'll join us in exciting Charm City!
