Spend the Day in Baltimore



Baltimore is often overshadowed by New York City however it is an amazing city and is a great place to go for a day trip for even for a weekend. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to get to Baltimore from Bucknell and is well worth the trip! Spend the day in the inner harbor, shopping, eating, and exploring. The Baltimore Aquarium is situated directly in the inner harbor and includes an Australian wildlife exhibit, an ocean animal exhibit, and a spectacular dolphin show. If it is a sunny and warm day and you don't wish to be stuck inside, the Baltimore Zoo is just a short drive away and is one of my personal favorites!!

The inner harbor has a wide variety of great restaurants ranging from quick and cheap food to more expensive (but oh so delicious meals). Eat at the Cheesecake Factory or get a world famous Maryland Crab Cake at one of the many seafood restaurants along the water. Or if you want something less expensive, try Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries. There is something for everyone!

If you are going to make this trip, bring extra money to go shopping! There are a magnitude of shops along the water which include but are not limited to Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Victoria's Secret, and Banana Republic.
