Things to do in Baltimore, Maryland (MD): The Best Shopping
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.

This is an awesome sight to see. Love the way they’ve redone the building and put a Barnes and Noble bookstore in it. Hard Rock is there too.

(To quote another traveler here) It was the most multicultural area I could see (during my visit to Baltimore). It is an interesting area, it may seem dangerous, but it is not. A historic place with great cultural value. This is a gritty version of Pikes Market in Seattle. Grounds are worn. Paid parking is tight ($4 for under 2 hours). I live in Las Vegas NV, so I found this place to be gritty, but I did feel safe. There is paper trash on the floor, and did have low income locals around. But I was greeted with smiles and no one bothered us. The food was AMAZING. Greek, Asian, Cajun, fresh fruit, cake, seafood to buy, butcher shop, Philly cheese steaks etc. ALL within feet of each other. Faidley crab cakes were SUPER great. A food stand even shown..raccoon and muskrat meat offered too. There is close to no seating here. Many ate in their car. I loved this place. Closed on Sundays. I suggest..roll up your sleeves, leave your cloth napkins at home and.....get gritty with some GREAT food!
