About Baltimore
One of the many gems of Baltimore City is the Harbor East district, known as the city’s newest neighborhood.
Where industrial warehouses once stood, you’ll now find dozens of restaurants, from quick bites to fine dining, and a wide variety of shopping options, from high-end to local boutiques. Best of all, you will be steps away from the nationally renowned National Aquarium!
