Baltimore is a fascinating
mix of history, modern attractions and corporate culture. Explore the many
historical sites that reflect the city's significant role in the Revolutionary
and Civil Wars, or discover the exciting attractions of the recently refurbished
Inner Harbor. The eclectic neighborhood, Fell's Point, is home to a vibrant
nightlife and diverse shopping, just as the beautiful Mt. Vernon neighborhood
offers insight into the city's artistic heritage. Baltimore was home to American
legends such as Babe Ruth, Edgar Allen Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and others.
Beyond the bastions of Baltimore's Fort McHenry took place a Revolutionary War
battle called the Battle of Baltimore. It was during this battle that Francis
Scott Key, who died in Baltimore, penned the Star-Spangled Banner.
