Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (VAAAC) is the official destination marketing organisation for Maryland’s capital city and the surrounding region. Annapolis is famed for its colonial heritage, vibrant waterfront, and role as America’s Sailing Capital, while Anne Arundel County offers visitors miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline, charming towns, and easy access to both Baltimore and Washington, DC.
We works to inspire leisure and group travel by showcasing the area’s rich history, diverse culture, outdoor adventures, and thriving food scene. As the gateway to the Chesapeake Bay, it connects travellers with experiences ranging from historic walking tours and sailing excursions to seafood dining, festivals, and boutique shopping.
Annapolis provides a quintessential American experience – combining small-town charm with proximity to major East Coast gateways – making it an ideal addition to self-drive itineraries, cultural tours, or city-plus-coast escapes.
