Cheap Flights to Baltimore

Maryland was founded by Lord Baltimore, a catholic, and was one of the first American colonies to embrace the freedom of religion. Baltimore the city had a major part to play in the American Revolution and briefly became the home of congress. When the Civil War broke out, Maryland stayed in the union, but the decision was far from unanimous and many civilians were arrested as sympathizers with the South.

The biggest attraction, for travellers taking cheap flights to Baltimore, is the city’s redeveloped waterfront. Among its must-see items is the USS Constellation, the US Navy’s last all-sail warship. Nearby you will find Federal Hill Park, which offers one of the best views of the city, as well as the American Visionary Art Museum which specializes in the work of self-taught artists.

Getting around Baltimore

If you’re sticking to the harbour during your Baltimore trip, you’ll be able to get around by walking or water taxi. To get north from Inner Harbour, it’s recommended that you take a taxi. Downtown has limited bus and rail service, but the service in the suburbs is excellent. If you want to rent a car, all the major rental companies are located at the airport, with one shuttle servicing them all. Driving around town is pretty easy, since Baltimore is laid out on a grid with alternating one-way streets. Traffic is usually heavy, even when it’s not rush hour, and parking is expensive and limited. Make sure you watch out for tow zones during rush hour and red-light cameras at intersections.
