There's so much to see and do here in Baltimore — stroll along the Inner Harbor, view masterpieces at the Baltimore Museum of Art, catch a baseball game at Camden Yards, step back in  time at Fort McHenry... and the list goes on.

The holiday season is upon us, and every corner of Baltimore is alive with twinkling lights, joyous festivities and holiday cheer. In the northwest part of Charm City, one can't help but be captivated by the magical transformation of Druid Hill Park into a winter wonderland with events and activities that will bring out your inner Kris Kringle.

Baltimore is made up of more than 250 tight-knit neighborhoods that have shaped the city's history, culture and traditions. One of Baltimore's oldest neighborhoods, Mount Vernon, boasts a unique blend of 19th-century charm and modern vitality. Its cobblestone streets and elegant brownstones provide a picturesque setting year-round, but during the Christmas season, the neighborhood truly comes alive with the spirit of the holidays.

When you think of Baltimore, you might conjure up images of its vibrant Inner Harbor, historic neighborhoods and rich maritime history. However, beneath the surface of this bustling city lies a rich tapestry of ghostly tales and haunted history waiting to be explored. To explore Baltimore's unique blend of history and the supernatural, there are several ghost tours and haunted pub crawls that promise an unforgettable journey into the city's rich and often dark history.

When you visit Baltimore, don't expect to find one big homogeneous city. Instead, Charm City (as we affectionately call Baltimore) is made up of 250 small neighborhoods rich in their own history and culture. Put them all together and you have a city that's vibrant, diverse, creative and... well, charming.

With every autumn season, nature's magical transformation into a canvas of brilliant reds, oranges and yellows never disappoints. For leaf peepers and nature enthusiasts, the arrival of fall is highly anticipated for its vibrant foliage, which provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures. One of the best places near Baltimore to witness this colorful, seasonal display is Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland's largest and oldest state park.

Hello, everyone! I'm excited to share some wonderful news about Rachael's Dowry Bed and Breakfast right here in Baltimore. As the owner and innkeeper of this charming B&B, I'm thrilled to announce that our little slice of history has recently been recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine.

Effortlessly weaving together old-world charm, maritime heritage and a vibrant contemporary culture, Fell's Point is a historic waterfront neighborhood in southeast Baltimore, just 1 mile from Inner Harbor and 2 miles from Rachael's Dowry Bed and Breakfast. We love this picturesque district for its Belgian block streets, historic buildings and a lively atmosphere that culminates in the annual Fell's Point Fun Festival.

Baltimore is home to roughly 200 unique neighborhoods, each with its own story. Tucked away in the heart of the city, between Inner Harbor and Fell's Point, is the charming enclave known as Little Italy. This vibrant neighborhood is a testament to its immigrant heritage and has become a hub for Italian-American culture, culinary delights and artistic expressions.
