What could you experience during your Baltimore vacation?

Eclectic Art and Cool Culture
* Any art exhibit can move you, but at the American Visionary Art Museum, many of the exhibits move themselves. Like Fifi, the 3-story, pink, pedal-powered poodle who leads the annual Kinetic Sculpture Race.

* The Baltimore Museum of Art houses the world's largest collection of works by Matisse and everything from ancient mosaics to contemporary art.

* You're never more than a few steps away from fresh and unique cultural experiences in Baltimore. Countless performance and theater venues offer entertainment and there's diverse architecture and public art everywhere you look.

A Historic American City
* The town crier in Fell's Point walks the cobblestone streets, announcing the news of the day from 1814 -- the year of the crucial Battle of Baltimore that repelled the British during the War of 1812. Baltimore is also the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner.

* In Baltimore, every brick-lined street is paved with historic significance. You can stroll past the nation's first Washington Monument or take the Heritage Walk, a free tour which will guide you through 4 centuries of history around the city.

Family Fun
* Discover sharks at the National Aquarium and meet life-sized dinosaurs at the Maryland Science Center -- both fascinating and family-friendly fixtures in the Inner Harbor.

* Just a few short blocks away is Geppi's Entertainment Museum, which will walk you through decades of pop culture and comic book history. You'll go in an ordinary family, but you'll come out superheroes.
