If you ’ re seeking a low-intensity stroll , look no further than Baltimore ’ s waterfront . An eight-mile promenade winds through neighborhoods from Locust Point to Canton , and there are many scenic spots to rest your feet along the way , including Federal Hill Park . The tall slope offers show-stopping views of the Inner Harbor and features a playground at the top where little ones can expel some energy . On Thursday evenings in the summer , the park hosts the American Visionary Art Museum ’ s “ Flicks from the Hill ” film series .
Also on Thursday nights , at the other end of the promenade in Canton Waterfront Park , is WTMD ’ s First Thursday Festival ; pick up dinner and dessert from one of more than 20 vendors and park yourself on a patch of land to listen to local singers and bands . Or , stop on the way to the festival to enjoy an outside meal with waterfront views at Bayside Cantina , Raw & Refined or Drift Bar , a floatingdock concept with top-tier cocktails and delicious small bites .
