The 9 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Baltimore, Maryland (MD)

November 20, 2021 Karren Gelb

Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

Spencer Horsman is a GIFTED magician/escape artist/comedian and puts on a GREAT show in this 1920's style theater. From the beginning to the end, you will laugh, be spell-bound, hold your breath, and be amazed! The price is reasonable ($20/$30). Spencer waits the bar, puts on the show and talks to the guests after. Go! Before he gets famous and doesn't do this anymore!

Baltimore Museum of Art

The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) is home to an internationally renowned collection of 19th-century, modern, and contemporary art. Founded in 1914 with a single painting, the BMA today has 90,000 works of art-including the largest holding of works by Henri Matisse in the world.* The museum is currently undergoing an unprecedented $28 million renovation to provide visitors with a more welcoming environment and more imaginative and inspiring encounters with art. The BMA is remaining open throughout the multi-year project so that visitors can enjoy its outstanding selection of European and American painting and sculpture from the 17th through 20th centuries and the newly reinstalled Contemporary Wing with 14 galleries showcasing the art of our time. Two beautifully landscaped gardens display an array of 20th-century sculpture that is an oasis in the city. The museum's 100th anniversary will be celebrated in November 2014 with the reopening of the grand historic entrance designed by John Russell Pope and a beautiful new presentation of the museum's distinguished collection of American art. Subsequent reopenings include expanded galleries for the African and Asian art collections and a new learning and creativity center that will open in 2015. Since 2006, the BMA has eliminated general admission fees so that everyone can enjoy the power of art. * Many of the BMA's works by Matisse are part of a special exhibition traveling to museums in Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and San Antonio in 2013 and 2014. If you are visiting to see a specific artwork, please call the BMA Box Office to make sure it will be on view.

The BMA has recently picked up an innovative and exciting air. You can follow them on Instagram to get a taste. In the meantime our recent visit reminded me of what a nice collection the museum has of Matisse and friends from the rich Cone Collection. The interactive apartment was a hit for us this time. The Contemporary Wing is getting more action of late, and since the museum is free I love to go even for a brief cleansing “art bath”.

American Visionary Art Museum

The American Visionary Art Museum is the nation's museum for self-taught, intuitive artistry. Three historic buildings house wonders created by farmers, housewives, mechanics, the disabled, the homeless, as well as the occasional neurosurgeon—all inspired by the fire within. From carved roots to embroidered rags, tattoos to toothpicks, ‘the visionary’ transforms dreams, loss, hopes, and ideals into powerful works of art. "one of the most fantastic museums anywhere in America" - CNN "Best Museum in Maryland" - USA Today "a temple of outsider art" - New York Times

This was my first visit to the AVAM and it will not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique and thought provoking exhibits and saw some incredible works of art. My best friend & I enjoyed an delicious & creative lunch and cocktails (loved the Cheshire Cat Cocktail) before our tour. Favorites were the stunning beaded sculptures, the exterior of the building as well as an incredible Australian Painter. A major highlight was the gift shop which is a throwback in time to some classic toys, candies etc. plus a wide variety of arty books, museum replicas etc and some gut-busting items that kept us laughing hysterically. I will definitely return during another visit from Seattle. Seriously, I recommend AVAM collaborate with someone in Seattle to do a similar museum-it would be a massive hit on the “left coast”!!

Inner Harbor

One of America's oldest seaports dating from the 1600s is today an important landmark and popular tourist destination. Park your car and follow the brick promenade through this bustling complex of eateries, stores, museums, entertainment and children's attractions. Sample the fresh seafood right out of Chesapeake Bay.

There is so much to do at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. There are so many great places to eat at with beautiful views of the harbor. These include The Rusty Scupper, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, and The Cheesecake Factory. There are lots of places for shopping. There are many attractions, including the National Aquarium, The Science Center, The Spirit of Baltimore sightseeing ship, pirate ship electric boats and paddle boats, and Top of the World Observation level. There are many hotels, too, near the Inner Harbor. It is especially enjoyable to walk around the Inner Harbor on a nice day.
