The neighborhood is highly walkable and close to the many amenities of Downtown and the Inner Harbor.
The Montague Baltimore is conveniently situated just 5 minutes from the heart of the Inner Harbor. Many of the attractions in Baltimore – including the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, the USS Constellation and the major sports stadiums – are centered in the Inner Harbor. Since the 18th century, the Harbor has been one of the most important seaports in the country, with a prime position alongside the Chesapeake Bay. Apart from the surrounding sites, you can also spend the day walking around the area, taking in a street performance or exploring the shops and restaurants.
While some travelers cite the area as somewhat of a tourist trap, most agree that the scenic strolls and convenient location make it a must-see for any first-time visitor. The neighborhood serves as a great place to catch a water taxi, have a meal, and shop around. Plus, there are many summer concerts and events in the area.
The Harbor is also a good starting point for getting to know the rest of the city, as it's close to central neighborhoods like Little Italy and Fells Point. You can also jump on a water taxi here to get around or explore the city by sea on a cruise tour. Spirit of Baltimore and Watermark Cruises offer sightseeing tours; prices and amenities vary by tour operator.

While detained on a ship in the Chesapeake Bay during a battle in the War of 1812, lawyer, poet and writer Francis Scott Key saw a flag of 15 stars and stripes soaring above the fray, signaling the Americans success in holding of a British naval attack. As the story goes, this sight inspired him to write the country's national anthem. Today, the site of the battle – and Key's moment of inspiration – is one of the most popular tourist haunts in Baltimore.
Admission to the general park area is free, but there is a $15 fee for visitors ages 16 and older to enter the historic star-shaped fort. At the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, spectators can partake in a variety of programs, including the Fort, Flag and Fire! Ceremony every Saturday at 2 p.m. in July and August, which invites spectators to enjoy guided tours and even assist in the changing of the 42-foot flag. After the history lesson, relax on the grounds and enjoy a picnic with the family. Recent visitors said their favorite part of the tour was soaking in the scenic views of the water and brushing up on American history with "flag talks" given by highly informative park rangers.

Less than 15 minutes from the Montague Baltimore, A marble fountain, swimming pool, lake, pagoda and dog park can be found in this 300-year-old park, where locals and visitors congregate for seasonal events and concerts.

Zoos and Aquariums
The Montague Baltimore is conveniently located just 7 minutes from the National Aquarium. One of the most well-known attractions in Baltimore, the National Aquarium houses more than 20,000 animals. The aquarium revolves around a bottom-level, open pool, which is filled with stingrays and fish. Continue upstairs and you'll discover a wide variety of marine animals, before you encounter the humidity of the rainforest replica at the top of the building. Visitors can return to the first floor down a spiraling path, which is enclosed by a giant shark tank.
A very popular attraction at the aquarium is the "Blacktip Reef" exhibit, a $12.5 million space designed to model the elaborate Indo-Pacific reef system that displays 20 blacktip reef sharks along with 60 distinct species of fish, including zebra sharks, clown triggerfish and a 500-pound green sea turtle named Calypso. "Dolphin Discovery" – the aquarium's largest exhibit – is another highlight thanks to the seven resident dolphins that provide a glimpse into how these animals play and interact.
Brace yourself for thick crowds, especially if you're here on a weekend. For a little more breathing room, consider stopping by on a weekday or before 11 a.m. and after 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Though recent visitors raved about the aquarium's accessibility and up-close encounters with underwater creatures, many caution that it's best to plan ahead to get the most out of your trip. Still, most reviewers called the attraction a must-do in Baltimore.
The aquarium is conveniently located on the Inner Harbor, and is easily accessible with the free Charm City Circulator. (Parking is also available at nearby garages.) Adult admission costs $39.95; admission for children costs $24.95; and entry for seniors costs $34.95.
