Things to do in Baltimore | Global Food Contact 2012

Situated on a natural harbor near the Chesapeake Bay, "Charm City" is best known for its bountiful fresh crabs, scenic views and sparkling waterfront attractions. Baltimore visitors flock to the city's Inner Harbor area, home to shopping, dinner cruises, nightlife, outdoor entertainment, museums, the National Aquarium, and other area attractions.

Eating and drinking:

Situated on a natural harbor and just a short drive from the nation's capital, Baltimore boasts a wealth of luxurious dining spots. First and foremost, the city's waterfront location makes it a prime supplier of fresh seafood - lobster, crab and oysters - fresh from Chesapeake Bay. Steamed crabs and crab cakes are probably Baltimore's greatest claim to fame and the hundreds of restaurants in Baltimore offer some of the finest seafood in the MidAtlantic region.

Attractions:

The Inner Harbor is one of Baltimore's most popular and beloved destinations. And it's only a few blocks from Tremont Plaza Hotel - a renowned name in Baltimore Maryland Inner Harbor hotels. Enjoy fine dining, cultural experiences, and exciting nightlife at the waterfront. Drink in panoramic views of the downtown skyline from the Observation Level of the World Trade Center. Cheer on the NFL's Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium or root, root, root for the Orioles at famed Camden Yards. Or just admire the beautiful ships sailing in and out of the harbor. When seeking Charm City accommodations, Tremont Plaza Hotel ranks among the best-known Inner Harbor hotels and is only a short walk away from the most popular attractions.
