Maryland Travel Guide

Attractions in Baltimore

Baltimore Museum of Art: it is exposed parts of the nineteenth and twentieth preferably, and has one of the most interesting collections of the State of Maryland, as in the case of the Cone, which are grouped in the works of some of leading artists of these two centuries, such as Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne, Manet, Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Renoir.

This museum was founded in 1914 between the neighborhoods of Charles Village and Remington and is one of the most interesting and important places to visit on the trip to Baltimore.

Walters Art Museum: Museum is another highlight of the city and is dedicated mainly to the ancient art so nicely complements the previous one. It is of private origin and owes its name to William Walters and his son Henry, who bequeathed his collection to the city. Through his works runs a rather large art scene that goes from the Egyptian Predynastic Period to the early twentieth century in Europe.

National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception: the Catholic basilica is one of the highlights of the city as a monument. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is also the largest church in the United States and the eighth in the world.

the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

Millions of pilgrims from all over the country visit it every year so this is one of the most important for U.S. Catholics. This is due to both its size and the relics it has in its interior, such as the tiara used by Pope Paul VI.

Moving in Baltimore

When traveling to Baltimore International Airport, Baltimore-Washington, is the first to be known by tourists as it offers several direct flights from some of the major cities of the United States. It is only thirty minutes from downtown and is very well connected to it by its public transport system.

This is managed by the company Mass Transit Administration, which offers citizens a fairly extensive bus network that operates seven days a week. For tourists are much more interesting than the normal taxi Water Taxi, ranging from downtown to Little Italy, Fell’s Point, Canton and Fort McHenry and the tourists can see the entire city.
