Travel - Eat - Sleep had a great blog post recently on things to do in Baltimore, Maryland. Of course, Baltimore is just a couple of hour drive from Gettysburg and so it makes a great day trip. I’ve talked about day trips to Baltimore before. But I like these suggestions:

  • Lexington Market - Truly a site to see, this is the country’s longest running market. Historic and cultural. Don’t miss it.
  • St. Mary’s Park - One of nature’s many blessings.
  • Washington Monument - Didn’t know Baltimore had a Washington Monument? Well, now you do. Check it out.
  • Mount Vernon Park - Home of the Washington Monument.
  • Walters Art Gallery - Statues, paintings, displays of knights’ armor … there is no gallery like it.
  • Maryland Science Center - Worth a trip just to see the giant dinosaur out front.
  • The Light Rail - Of course, Baltimore has one of the best public transportation systems in the world. And why you want to drive?
