Inner Harbor, Tourist attraction in Baltimore, US
Inner Harbor is a renovated waterfront district along the northwestern branch of the Patapsco River in central Baltimore, Maryland. The zone connects an extended shoreline promenade with several museum buildings, dining establishments, and retail shops in converted warehouses and modern facilities.
The harbor emerged during the 18th century as a major trading point for tobacco and grain from the Chesapeake region. The conversion from industrial facilities to public leisure spaces began during the 1970s under municipal leadership.
The harbor takes its name from its sheltered position in the inner part of the bay and now serves as a social gathering point for locals and visitors. Street performers and local musicians regularly appear along the wide promenades while families use the outdoor restaurant terraces.
The promenade remains open at all hours and offers barrier-free paths along the entire waterfront. Several public transport lines stop nearby while water taxis shuttle between different piers.
The USS Constellation remains permanently moored and visitors can explore the complete interior of the mid-19th century warship. The vessel belongs to a group of four historic watercraft that together document different eras of American seafaring.
