Hello! My name is Sharon Schultz, also known as The Bay Lady. Having lived in Maryland for at least half a century, I am well acquainted with the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Region. I am excited to show out-of-town guests my favorite places and the best of Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay.
Attention, travelers!
If you're seeking an engaging and immersive experience in the United States, Baltimore is a fantastic destination for a free walking tour.
This vibrant city offers a captivating blend of history, culture, diverse neighborhoods, and architectural wonders that are best explored on foot.
Allow me to provide you with a general overview of why Baltimore is an excellent place to embark on a walking tour and discover the hidden gems it has to offer.
We will meet in front of the Baltimore Visitors Center at 401 Light Street, Baltimore, MD. I have long silver hair and wear a black cap to match my profile photo.
Located in Harborplace, a tourist hub on the beautiful Baltimore Waterfront Promenade, this is an easily accessible, safe space for meetups, with tourist information and public facilities available inside.
Prominently docked along along Piers 3, 4 & 5 for inspection, is the Chesapeake, a 1930's Lightship, a WWII Sub, USS Torsk, a 1935 Treasury Class US Coast Guard Cutter, and the famous 1854 War Sloop, USS Constellation.
Baltimore's World Trade Center, the world's tallest pentagonal tower with a 360 observation deck on the 127th floor, holds 3 heartfelt 9-11 Memorials safely in its shadow.
Housed in two massive glass pyramids, the National Aquarium spans two piers. In-between lies Harbor Wetlands, a new exhibit that mimics a wetland found along the Chesapeake Bay.
This screw-pile Lighthouse was once positioned in the Patapsco River to light the way into Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Now retired on land, it is an important part of the living classroom program.
This is a new, multiple use area that features upscale waterfront hotels, restaurants and shops with spectacular views of the Harbor..
A collection of iconic, authentic, Italian restaurants and bakeries.
A gathering of bars and restaurants with outdoor seating under one big roof with live music.
West Shore Park is another example of the many recreational areas funded by the city. Federal Hill has witnessed some 300 years of maritime history while guarding the harbor and today it provided breathtaking, panoramic views of the city.
The Maryland Science Center and Rash Field features several outdoor spaces providing educational situations and activities to passersby.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
