SAIL THROUGH TIME
After a weekend spent walking around Charm City and climbing our towering landmarks , you deserve to unwind — and there ’ s no better way to spend a day in Baltimore than out on the water .
The Water Taxi is a low-cost , scenic way to get around the Inner Harbor and check out the view from Federal Hill Park or historic Fort McHenry , which defended the U . S . during the War of 1812 and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star-Spangled Banner .
For a more guided sailing experience , book Watermark ’ s Baltimore Harbor Cruise . A 45-minute recorded narration provides an overview of Baltimore ’ s waterfront revival and offers background on the Domino Sugar factory , Fort McHenry , Under Armour and other attractions viewed along the route .
If walking and climbing weren ’ t enough exercise for one weekend , hop into a kayak for an on-thewater tour led by the Baltimore City Department of Recreation & Parks and Waterfront Partnership . You ’ ll get close-up encounters with the USS Torsk , a 1944 submarine famous for sinking the last enemy ships during WWII , and the USS Constellation , a Civil War vessel that rescued 3,700 enslaved individuals .
Have time for one more meal before you say goodbye to Charm City ? Take the Water Taxi to Fell ’ s Point to dine at the Waterfront Hotel , the second-oldest brick building in Baltimore . Enjoy burgers , crab cakes and fun-flavored crushes ( like peach cobbler and key lime ) on the main level , then head upstairs to hear live music — the Waterfront Hotel hosts performers seven nights a week .
