Peter Pan Lines

Pros: The bus was not crowded, so social distancing was possible and everyone had enough space. Cons: The driver was very vocal about demanding absolute quiet, going as far as threatening to stop the bus if people were talking to each other. He repeated that call multiple times throughout the ride although the bus was really quiet, making it almost comical. I do appreciate the quiet ride, and enforcing that people are respectful, but this felt unnecessarily strict. Tips: Bring a handfan, some busses are pretty warm.

Baltimore is a seaport in Maryland best known for its crab cakes and baseball legend, Babe Ruth. As there is plenty to see in Charm City, you'll be singing "Good Morning, Baltimore'' as soon as you experience all of the sights and activities this quirky town has to offer.

Some of Baltimore's most impressive attractions are centered in and around Inner Harbor.

Alongside shops and restaurants, Inner Harbor also hosts the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, and several entertainment venues where you can catch live music. Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the harbor from atop Federal Hill Park, or if you prefer the view that inspired "The Star Spangled Banner," head out to Fort McHenry, known for its role in the War of 1812.
