Baltimore is a vibrant waterfront city with a wide variety of recreational, entertainment and cultural opportunities. From its inner harbor attractions to its nightlife in Fells Point, from its museums and galleries to its superb sports stadiums, Baltimore provides all of the amenities of one of America’s major metropolises. Among its many cultural attractions are the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Opera Company, the Peabody Conservatory, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Walters Art Gallery, Center Stage, and the Morris Mechanic Theater. The Inner Harbor, with its shops, restaurants, and attractions (including the National Aquarium and Maryland Science Center), brings the Chesapeake Bay into the heart of Baltimore.
The city also supports professional teams in major league baseball (the Orioles), NFL football (the Ravens), and indoor soccer. The museums, historic landmarks, and theaters in Washington, D.C. are an hour away, and the cultural offerings of Philadelphia and New York are readily accessible by train or car.Year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation are provided by the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, the nearby Maryland countryside, and the mountains and rivers of western Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
