Fort McHenry

Francis Scott Key witnessed the Battle of Baltimore from a ship offshore, and he was inspired to write the words to the Star Spangled Banner. Fort McHenry lies half-a-mile westwards of the cruise terminal.

Federal Hill
Federal Hill got its name after a night of partying instigated by Maryland’s inclusion into the original US constitution. Revelers launched a mockup sailing ship, named the ‘Federalist’ from atop the hill into the bay. Today it’s a a small green space, giving spectacular views over the bay. To its south lies the attractive district of Federal Hill, with elegant streets and period townhouses. It makes a good spot for a stroll with a break at a homely café for a snack.

Fell's Point
About a mile east of Inner Harbor stands the characterful district of Fell’s Point. In the first part of nineteenth century US ships were legally allowed to attack British vessels, and Fell’s Point was the base of several shipyards making privateer ships. The quaint townhouses, small market squares and narrow streets bring back those early years.
