| Much of Baltimore’s sightseeing centres on the revitalised harbour front and the adjacent districts of Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, Little Italy and Fells Point (clockwise from the south side of the Inner Harbor). The harbour is still very much a working, ocean-going port, which adds to the interest. Viewing it as a whole from the water taxi service is by far the best introduction for visitors. This not only gives a sense of how the city fits together but also provides one of the most fantastic views of the seafront skyline from the traditional point of entry, the Patapsko River. This view is particularly eye-catching when illuminated at dusk. |
