Everything You Need to Know for Your Maryland Holiday Travels

Often referred to as “America in Miniature,” Maryland offers travellers a vast and varied landscape to explore, filled with historical richness, small town charm and natural maritime beauty.

An essential stop during any Maryland holiday is the Chesapeake Bay, whose gentle waters are favored by fishermen, boaters and water sport enthusiasts. As you drive past the quaint fishing villages that dot the bay’s shores, you’ll find that the state capital of Annapolis remains the area’s quintessential maritime town. Home of the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, nicknamed “America’s Sailing Capital,” exudes an enchantingly intimate ambiance with its picturesque architecture and colonial history. Nearby, Baltimore showcases a decidedly more urban appeal. Stroll through the eclectic restaurants and shops of the Inner Harbor, catch an Orioles baseball game at Camden Yards, or delight your children with a visit to the National Aquarium or Maryland Science Center.

Water lovers will also enjoy Ocean City, whose sandy shores stretch along the Eastern Shore. The boardwalk’s amusement rides and edible goodies are perennial family favourites, and children and parents alike will find it hard to resist indulgences like Candy Kitchen and Thrasher’s French Fries. While on the water, be sure to take part in a Maryland culinary tradition: crabs! Typically seasoned with Old Bay and served with hushpuppies, a crab feast offers an authentic taste of this coastal destination.

History lovers will find plenty to appreciate in the Old Line State, which played pivotal roles in both early colonial history and the Civil War. Follow part of the Underground Railroad, used by slaves to escape from the South to the North. Visit the Civil War battlefields of Antietam or Frederick, or see where the “Star Spangled Banner,” the country’s national anthem, was written during the War of 1812.
