Enjoy the spectacular view of downtown while casually strolling through Federal Hill Park or another one of the area’s green spaces like nearby Riverside or Swann. During the warmer months, you’ll almost always find a street fair happening in the heart of the neighborhood surrounding the historic Cross Street Market, a 19th century marketplace with plenty of modern day eats and drinks. Must-sees in Federal Hill include the American Visionary Art Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Industry. Federal Hill is also located right next to Locust Point, where Fort McHenry calls to history buffs. Art aficionados will appreciate the number of independent art galleries in this neighborhood, including School 33 Art Center and Tradestone Gallery.

Harborplace is located on the waterfront in the heart of Downtown Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Harborplace features two pavilions located at Pratt Street and Light Street that surround the Harborplace Amphitheatre whose terraced steps provide seating for live performances throughout the year.

Since 1996, Harbor East has built its reputation as a premier destination for national employers, successful retailers, and sophisticated visitors and residents. Once an area known for its ghosted warehouses dating back to Baltimore’s 19th-century industrial boom, we worked patiently to rebuild this iconic waterfront neighborhood into a beautiful skyline. The vision was accomplished with integrity, persistence, and a genuine desire to thoughtfully elevate Baltimore. It is with these same values we continue our growth.

Fell's Point is a historic waterfront neighborhood in southeastern Baltimore, Maryland. It was established around 1763 along the north shore of the Baltimore Harbor and the Northwest Branch of the Patapsco River. The area has many antique, music, and other stores, restaurants, coffee bars, a municipal markethouse with individual stalls, and over 120 pubs. Located 1.5 miles east of Baltimore's downtown central business district and the Jones Falls stream (which splits the city, running from northern Baltimore County), Fells Point has a maritime past and the air of a seafaring town. It also has the greatest concentration of drinking establishments and restaurants in the city.

The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House is a National Historic Landmark and historic house museum in Baltimore, Maryland. The Museum preserves the historic 1793 structure and interprets the life of Mary Young Pickersgill, a nineteenth-century female entrepreneur and craftswoman of the flag that inspired the National Anthem.

The Original Lovely Lane Meeting House was built in 1774. Ten years later, the Methodist Societies hosted the famous Christmas Conference at Lovely Lane Meeting House, where a new denomination was born: the Methodist Episcopal Church. John Wesley had reluctantly agreed to the American Methodists’ desire to organize their own church. He sent Thomas Coke to supervise the process and to consecrate Francis Asbury as “general superintendent” of the Methodists in America. When Coke and Asbury met at Barrats Chapel in November 1784, Asbury refused the appointment unless the preachers elected him. The meeting was scheduled for the next month, December, at Lovely Lane Meeting House in Baltimore.
