Fee: $40
This guided walking tour will start at
Baltimore's Inner Harbor, which has thrived following
a massive urban renewal project that began in the
1970's. Now a vibrant, active, waterfront area which
includes the market of Harborplace, the National
Aquarium, the restored U.S. Frigate Constellation,
the Maryland Science Museum and Davis Planetarium.
Near the Aquarium, The Power Plant, a restored industrial
building, houses the Hard Rock Cafe, the Barnes
& Noble Bookstore and the ESPN Zone entertainment
center. The Baltimore harbor also hosts the Baltimore
Maritime Museum, a 3 ship exhibit which includes
the lightship Chesapeake, the World War II submarine
USS Torsk, and the USS Taney, the only ship still
afloat that survived the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
