Baltimore
Baltimore – the colorful, diverse metropolis that is Maryland’s largest metropolis and financial hub, is understood for its lovely harbor; quirky, wonderful neighborhoods; unique museums and the world-famend Johns Hopkins Hospital to the east and the University of Maryland Medical Center to the west.
With the rich records the town boasts however, it’s extremely good that Baltimore hasn’t been deemed certainly one of America’s finest ancient destinations.
It is home to the first cathedral in the United States – The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was recently restored to its early 19th century roots and welcomes thousands of visitors a year.
