Locust Point
The Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine is where our national anthem was born during the War of 1812. It currently features a museum as well as a park. The museum has a short video inside that is very much worth watching and makes you feel "Proud to be an American." Then you can explore the Fort. Afterwards, walk the 1-mile path around the Fort for one of my favorite strolls in Baltimore.
Top 5 Things to Do in Baltimore
After living in Baltimore for six years, here is a list that I compiled of what you cannot miss in Baltimore.
Baltimore Water Taxi
The most dramatic sightseeing in Baltimore can be done on the Baltimore Water Taxi. Before I went to Australia, I heard from a friend that I needed to take the Manly Ferry in downtown Sydney. We did that ride and it sure was spectacular, just like they said. This taxi ride is comparable to my experience in Sydney, as it truly took my breath away.
