Visit Baltimore

Something special is happening in Baltimore. We are writing a new chapter in our history, fueled by cultural tastemakers and creative entrepreneurs. Today’s Baltimore is a vibrant community that honors the past while keeping a keen eye on the future.

Our city is 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 and stay in a four-star hotel poised atop an historic recreation pier. Hop from neighborhood to neighborhood on the Water Taxi, take in the sights from atop the Washington Monument and stand in the presence of history at Fort McHenry.

But the Baltimore experience is about more than exploring neighborhoods and cultural sites. To really know this place, you have to meet our artists, provocateurs and visionaries who call Charm City home. Walk the streets where historic figures like Edgar Allan Poe, Frederick Douglass and Billie Holiday once roamed, and forge a new path at modern art galleries, beloved music venues and vintage boutiques that give Baltimore its charm.
