Baltimore

Pros: Great Inner Harbor
Cons: Don't stray...

I have become a somewhat frequent traveller to Baltimore, making weekend trips nearly every other weekend from August 1999 through January 2000. My girlfriend is from there, and I from New York, so we rendezvous quite often.
The Inner Harbor area is...

Pros: Quirky, unique neighborhoods and down-home atmosphere.
Cons: Certain areas are dangerous and should be avoided.

The city's residents are fiercely loyal and proud of Charm City. Situated just below the Mason-Dixon, Baltimore is a funky, one-of-a-kind mix of sweet Southern charm and outspoken Northern liberalism. The city has been very active in restoring historic...

Pros: plenty to do and see
Cons: tends to be overshadowed by nearby Washington, DC

While frequently overlooked in favor of its southern neighbor, Washington, DC, Baltimore is a charming city with a lot to do --not only for singles and couples, but families as well.

First, there is the ever-popular Inner Harbor. Here, you can...

Pros: Great seafood, awesome attractions, beautiful neighborhoods close by, DC only 30 miles away
Cons: Crime, beggers, dangerous areas

Baltimore gets a bad rep by many. Known for it's high crime rate and poverty stricken areas, many think the city is on the decline. However, after recently visiting Baltimore, I must say that I loved my time in the city and recommend it to anyone. The ...

Pros: A city where people are actually NICE & great food too!!
Cons: parking and the lack thereof

After a ten day trip to Baltimore (mixed business and pleasure), we were so impressed that we are mo ...

Pros: Shopping, Fascinating Ships and People
Cons: none

We visited Baltimore while our son was in college there and stayed in a great motel next to the Inner Harbor. We were so fascinated by the ships that were docked. One was a Russian freighter, I believe. They were giving tours, but there was such a long...

Pros: inner harbor, lots of shops and restaurants
Cons: big difference in living conditions in different parts of the city

Baltimore has great attractions...it is the home of Johns Hopkins University, it has an Inner Harbor filled with fun shops, restaurants, and paddle boats, there is a great aquarium in the middle of everything, and those southern crab cakes are delicious....

Pros: Lots to see and do within a half-mile radius.
Cons: Only two hotels are walking distance the harbor and its attractions.

If you've ever heard of Baltimore, the Inner Harbor is the heart of the city. With a wide selection of attractions, shops, and restaurants, you could easily plan a few day's worth of things-to-do within a half-mile radius.

Pros: great sites

Pros: It can only get better.
Cons: That I had to state that it can only get better.

The old, comfortable Baltimore of Barry Levinson and the quirky town depicted by John Waters does not really exist. I know because I live in the real Baltimore (and have for my entire life, in the city). I am sad to report that this city has the...

Pros: excellent food and great atmosphere
Cons: possible delay in being seated in evenings

If you live nearby Baltimore and haven't stopped by in a while, it might be a pretty good place to go on a weekend to spend a day at. You can visit the Baltimore Orioles (if you can get a ticket) at the great Camden Yards, visit the Baltimore...

Cons: Can get muggy

Baltimore is the perfect summer vacation spot, especially staying at the inner harbor.
This is a great family spot or a place for a school break. Go during the summer, where although it's hot, you have so much to do outside.
First of all, you...

I have lived in Baltimore for the last five years, and while I wouldn't call it the greatest United States city, there are certainly some unique things to do perfect for a wekeend trip.
