About Inner Harbor

The Inner Harbor is Baltimore's downtown waterfront, where a promenade links the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center and the Historic Ships in Baltimore fleet. You can tour the USS Constellation, built in 1854 and the only surviving ship from the Civil War, or get on the water by sightseeing cruise, paddle boat or kayak. Seafood restaurants line the shore, and Pier Six Pavilion hosts outdoor concerts in summer. The Baltimore Visitor Center sits on the west shore at 401 Light Street.
