Baltimore is a historic port city with a gritty charm and a rich maritime legacy. Known as “Charm City,” it is defined by its distinctive neighborhoods, row houses, and the bustling Inner Harbor. The harbor is a tourist magnet, featuring the National Aquarium and historic ships like the USS Constellation. Baltimore has deep roots in American history—it is where Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the War of 1812. The city is also famous for its seafood, particularly blue crabs and crab cakes, and serves as a major medical and educational hub thanks to Johns Hopkins University and Hospital.
