Pros: Convenience, easy to find, & better than driving. Cons: N/A Tips: Don’t park in the Greyhound lot. I was told I would be towed after an hour even though there aren’t any signs posted saying this. I parked in the Horseshoe garage and became a member for free parking. You need a physical membership card to do this.

Pros: The transporter was nice and helpful. Chargers was available Cons: Information about leaning the sit back to make the passenger behind you comfortable. Could've been wifi on greyhound but it was saying connected without internet Tips: Make sure you get at 10 to 15 mins early especially if your travelling out of state. You'll enjoy your ride nothing to be nervous about.Also pay attention to proper seating.

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. This scenic waterfront is filled with historic ships, dating as far back as the Civil War in the case of the USS Constellation. 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.
