    Guide

    Where the Star-Spangled Banner was born: a compact fort with sweeping harbor views and living history. It’s an easy win—flat paths, open lawns, and a visitor film that sets the scene in under 15 minutes.

    Start at the visitor center for your map, then follow the ramp to the east wall for the best harbor vantage. Time your visit for a flag raising or lowering—the ranger talk turns the place into a story you’ll remember.

    For a slower visit, circle the star-shaped ramparts clockwise and watch ships move in and out of the Patapsco.

    The ballpark of Major League Baseball’s Baltimore Orioles is the poster child of American nostalgia. It opened in 1992 and is widely considered the most beautiful baseball stadium in America.

    The stadium’s name – Oriole Park at Camden Yards (OPACY) – comes from the beautiful old railway station that serves as its backdrop. Highlights of the beloved ballpark include a pedestrian concourse on “Utah Street” street that ushers fans between their seats and concessions in home run territory.

    Make sure to grab a beer with the locals at Pickles before the game, spot Brooks Robinson’s Golden Glove nearby, scream “O” at the appropriate time of the National Anthem, and visit the Orioles HOF Statue Park in left field before the last out.
