15 Best Day Trips from Baltimore

Otherwise known as Charm City, Baltimore is a melting pot of everything from food from all corners of the world to a myriad of cultural attractions and museums.

As with many metropolitan centres, the pace of life here can be relentless and a break is sometimes called for.

Luckily for you, the surrounding area and wider state of Maryland is home to some of the most beautiful countryside in the United States, including coastline and vast, sweeping National Parks.

Read this handy guide on some of the best places to spend the day while you’re in Baltimore and get ready to unwind.

1. Annapolis

The charming waterside city of Annapolis is a mere 30 minutes from the city limits of Baltimore and is the perfect place to spend a day exploring one of the prettiest urban areas found anywhere in the state of Maryland.

With cobblestone streets hiding quaint restaurants and bars around every corner and gorgeous boats bobbing along the waters of the Town Dock, you’ll be tempted to stay for longer than just a day.

Once home to the United States Capitol, Annapolis is a cultural and historical hub, bursting with fascinating colonial destinations and stories which make it an ideal place for history buffs looking to learn more about America in its infancy.

2. Sandy Point State Park

A stone’s throw away, just outside Annapolis, you’ll discover the enchanting and aptly named, Sandy Point State Park.

Here, you can look forward to endless strolls along the sand down the extensive coastline, though the favourite beach itself is at one end of Chesapeake Bay Bridge where the views are nothing short of spectacular.

Swing by the state park if you’re visiting Annapolis, or even spend the entire day at Sandy Point and indulge in the huge array of activities on offer, including fishing and hiking as well as obviously going for a swim.

Arrive in summer to make the most of the beaches and get ready to leave the stresses of the city behind you.

3. St Michaels

Even more charming than Annapolis, St Michael’s is a must-see destination for anyone looking to spend a quiet weekend at a beautiful seaside town away from the hustle and bustle of Baltimore.

What’s more, it’s only an hour away, meaning you don’t have to spend more than a day exploring if you don’t want to.

Full of galleries and antique stores, St Michael’s slow pace of life and quiet ambience makes it a popular place to go to unwind.

If you’re looking to indulge a little, pay a visit to the St Michael’s winery or Lyon Distillery to get of some of the best wines and spirits in Maryland.

4. Chesapeake Beach

The enormous Chesapeake Bay is so large that it almost divides the state of Maryland in half and as a result, it has an equally large number of attractive destinations on its shores.

The resort town of Chesapeake Beach is a wonderful alternative to Ocean City because it’s only an hour away from Baltimore and is a perfect trip for both families and travellers alike.

Indulge yourself in some of the finest seafood in the state coupled with magnificent bay views and explore the hidden bars and restaurants of the boardwalk – a pleasure to stroll along both night and day.

5. Washington DC.

One for the city lovers who want to spend the day discovering what another large city has to offer, Washington DC is just over an hour from Baltimore and has a wealth of fascinating, historical and delicious entertainment to offer.

Visit one of the many museums along the National Mall, or perhaps sample one of the constantly appearing restaurants offering the very best in food from all corners of the globe.

One of the country’s most important cultural hubs, Washington is an ever-evolving and never-boring place to visit, even if its only for the day.

6. Ocean City

Without a doubt one of the more favoured beaches on the coast of the Mid-Atlantic, you’ll find a 10-mile stretch of beautiful public beach at Ocean City, as well as what is considered to be the best boardwalk in the entire country.

Among the numerous things to do here include sampling some of the delicious local food served in the many kiosks along the beach, checking out free concerts and movies that are shown by the sea or simply spending the day getting lost on the sun-kissed boardwalk.

You can also catch a tram between attractions if you’re pressed for time but whether you walk from spot to spot or not, you certainly won’t run out of things to do.

7. Antietam National Battlefield

Best known for being the site of one of the most dramatic clashes of the Civil War, Antietam is in the beautiful countryside less than two hours from Baltimore and offers a serene insight into both the day of the battle and details about the war in general.

One of the most revealing activities is the eight-mile, self-guided route that takes you past Dunker Church, Sunken Road and Burnside Bridge, all pivotal points of the conflict that shaped the nation’s history.

8. Frederick

Maryland’s gorgeous reply to Napa wine country, Frederick is the only place to be if you’re looking to take a day trip full of beautiful vistas and sweeping countryside views, not to mention some of the best wine in the country.

The wineries are all locally-owned and offer tailored tours for those with specific tastes and almost all involve spending time outdoors appreciating the scenery as well as the wine.

A day trip like this wouldn’t be complete without trying the Frederick Food Tour which gives you the chance to sample various restaurants and eateries in the nearby city of Frederick.

9. Gunpowder Falls State Park

Astonishingly close to Baltimore is one of the largest State Parks in Maryland and at a mere 20-miles, it’s easy to get to and is a world away from hectic city life.

Containing over 100-miles of stunning woodland with different areas assigned for everything from running to fly-fishing, Gunpowder Falls State Park is a veritable outdoor adventure playground.

Ideal for a day trip that takes you back to nature, the area also offers horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking and bird-watching, making it near impossible to experience everything in a single day.

The beautiful forest, however, is so close to Baltimore that you can come back as many times as you like.

10. Ohio Canal National Historical Park

This park is the culmination of many generations worth of transportation ingenuity based on the canals in the area, which now are open for the public to explore.

The well-maintained towpaths on either side serve as walking routes for visitors and along the way you’ll have the chance to explore the many locks and lock houses that remain.

For some truly remarkable canal architecture, visit the Monocacy Aqueduct, the 530 foot-long structure comprising of seven arched bridges is a spectacular sight to behold.

11. Assateague State Park

About eight miles from the nearby town of Berlin lies Assateague Island, an astonishingly beautiful and rugged, windswept barrier island off the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

If you visit in the summer you’ll be treated to perfect conditions for swimming and surfing as well as some incredible views of the Atlantic and the assorted fauna on the island.

The highlight of most visits will be catching a glimpse of the wild horses that live here, untamed and free to roam.

Seeing the majestic animals in their natural habitat will make you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to the age of pioneers the country grew from.

12. American Visionary Art Museum

Though it’s within the Baltimore city limits, no visit to the Charming City would be complete without checking out the American Visionary Art Museum.

Boasting a mixture of indoor and outdoor exhibits, the museum displays an eclectic range of works of art created by self-taught artists that are both from all parts of the world.

The perfect day trip to leave you feeling curious and inspired, there’s something for everyone at this beautifully designed and thoughtfully curated museum.

13. Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge

This vast nature reserve can be found on Maryland’s Eastern Shore just south of the town of Cambridge.

The enormous area covers over 25,000 acres of wetlands, marshes and forests and is a veritable wonderland for all manner of wild, migratory birds and other critters, some of which are actually endangered and rarely seen elsewhere.

Though at its most beautiful in spring and the fall, Blackwater Refuge is stunning all year round and never short of intriguing wildlife to look out for.

Make the most of your visit on either one of the gorgeous walking trails or on the highly recommended Wildlife Drive.

14. Six Flags America

Get ready to experience one of America’s most iconic and thrilling days out with non-stop fun at Six Flags America.

By far the nation’s undisputed classic theme park, you’ll find Six Flags in Upper Marlboro, not far from Washington DC. Ideal for families but also fun for travellers and groups who want to experience a slice of American theme park joy, Six Flags has something for literally everyone, from endless roller coasters and water rides, to restaurants, shopping and even live entertainment.

Be sure to book early if you want to avoid queues during school vacations.

15. Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon is the place to be if you want to experience an electrifying fusion of contemporary urban culture.

It’s actually in the center of Baltimore but with so many influences from all over the globe, it could well be on another continent.

Bursting with intriguing and respected institutions like the Walters Art Museum and the Peabody Library, there’s a wealth of cultural history to be found here.

Then there’s the exhilarating dining scene, offering everything from Spanish to Afghani cuisine and more.

Make the most of being in Baltimore and end your day with a night out at one of the many progressive, trendy nightlife spots dotted around the neighbourhood.

Getaway Guide 

Comparing destinations: which one is right for you.

Spending the weekend in the old-world charm of The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond was akin to slipping back in time. 

My personal highlight? 

The grand staircase, a scene straight out of a movie.

Grand Hotel Cape May, on the other hand, had me floored with its beachfront beauty and nostalgic elegance. 

From bike rides along the shore to sunsets that would make any Instagram feed jealous, it was a sensory feast.

But let’s not forget about Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, Autograph Collection. 

There’s something magical about sipping a coffee, dockside, watching boats bob against the golden sunrise.

The other destinations, while distinct, can’t quite match The Jefferson’s harmonious blend of elegance and convenience. 

Grand Hotel Cape May, with its sandy relaxation, and the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, offering a balance of city life and serenity, are indeed close contenders. 

But for the ultimate fusion of history and comfort, The Jefferson is truly unbeatable.

7 Fantastic Day Trips From Baltimore

• Destinations
• United States
• Washington, D.C.

One of the most daunting things about changing journalism jobs is learning a new place quickly. One week I was reporting from Iowa cornfields; the next week from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. I quickly discovered the magic of a city that is home to America’s first cathedral, the national anthem, and a place to see 20,000 animals, most of them under the sea.

Yet, when you tear yourself away from this city for a day, you get to explore history and nature that takes you from mountain to ocean, all within a three-hour drive. Here is a week’s worth of day trips to make the most of this remarkable area.

1. Reach For The Skyline

Shenandoah national park, virginia.

If you’re in the mood for a real road trip, Shenandoah National Park offers a road with an unbeatable view. You can drive 108 miles to the Front Royal Entrance and then keep on driving through historic Skyline Drive for as many of the 105 miles through the park as you would like to see. The average speed is 35 miles per hour, giving you plenty of time to stop at one of more than 70 overlooks and look for glimpses of bears and deer.

Park your car and hike some of the more than 500 miles of trails through forests, to waterfalls, and — if you’re up for a long day — tackle the park’s most popular destination, Old Rag . This is a very strenuous, often crowded 9.4-mile hike, yet hikers say you haven’t seen Shenandoah National Park until you’ve scrambled up the summit.

For something more easily accomplished, try the Limberlost trail through the forest at Mile 43. Its 1.3 miles are fully accessible to everyone but pets.

Pro Tip: There is food available approximately every 25 miles along Skyline Drive. Build in extra time to enjoy a meal at one of the two park restaurants where the views are amazing but tables are first come, first served.

2. Go See The Other Washington Monument

Baltimore claims the first major Washington monument , but the 555-foot obelisk that came later just 46 miles down the road in Washington, D.C. , is worth a trip. You can see the National Mall monument by foot, bike, scooter, or even tour boat . Book a 90-minute trip that takes you down the Potomac from Georgetown to Alexandria and back for around $30.

Had enough Washington? Check out Abraham Lincoln lore at the Lincoln book tower at the Ford’s Theater Center for Education and Leadership. It has more books about Honest Abe than even the biggest bibliophile has on their nightstand.

The National Cathedral is perfect for a visual scavenger hunt, where you can look for the window featuring a moon rock Apollo 11 astronauts personally brought from the moon to the Cathedral. Star Wars fans can spot the Darth Vader Gargoyle . (If you can’t get there in person, try this virtual tour .)

Pro Tip: Plan ahead, and you can get Washington’s best views from the National Cathedral Tower climb , which takes you up 333 steeply winding steps. These ticketed tours for height-lovers stopped during the pandemic; keep an eye on the webpage for when things resume.

3. Tour The Town That Was This Close To Being Washington, D.C.

Havre de grace, maryland.

Local legend says this community at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay missed being named the capital of the United States by one vote. So, there is no Congress but still plenty to see 41 miles from Baltimore. Let the Concord Point Lighthouse guide your way as it guided ship traffic for nearly 150 years. Maryland’s second-oldest lighthouse is open for weekend tours from April to October.

Explore the area by kayak or see it from a duck’s point of view at the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum . This private, non-profit institution aims to preserve the legacy of birds and decoy-making in the region.

Wrap up your day with crab cakes at Tidewater Grille , where the view of the Chesapeake helps you get away from it all, less than an hour from Baltimore.

4. Speaking Of Capital Cities…

Annapolis, maryland.

It’s 32 miles from Baltimore to Maryland’s capital, which is home to the US Naval Academy . Graduates include President Jimmy Carter, 54 astronauts , and 26 members of Congress. You can walk the grounds like they did; public tours are open during non-pandemic times, and you will need to bring government-issued ID for access .

Pro Tip: Each May, the Navy’s Blue Angel jets fly above Annapolis for USNA Commissioning week. Plan to visit the area for rehearsal day (the date is always publicly available), and you will get a great show with smaller crowds.

Order like a local at Chick & Ruth’s , where you can get sandwiches named for politicians and leaders, like Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court Thurgood Marshall (Grilled cheese with swiss, tomato, and bacon on rye for $9.99). Come early for the Pledge of Allegiance recited weekdays at 8:30 a.m., weekends at 9:30 a.m.

A schooner tour proves why Annapolis is known as America’s Sailing Capital. If the wind cooperates, you may get to sail under the 4.3-mile-long Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which connects Annapolis to Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

5. See More On The Eastern Shore

Assateague island national seashore, maryland.

Bay Bridge traffic gets heavy when the weather warms up. Many people head to beach communities like Ocean City , St. Michaels , and Rehoboth , where extended stays are often required at rentals and hotels. For a beach on a budget, head 112 miles from Baltimore to Assateague Island National Seashore . Here, you will find 37 miles of seashore perfect for swimming, fishing, camping, and watching Assateague’s wild horses .

Pro Tip: Check out the schedule for Ranger-guided programs. I learned how to catch crabs (and throw them back) thanks to a park program, and it gave me much more appreciation for my seafood dinner that afternoon!

Want to get even further away? Buy an Over-Sand Vehicle (OSV) permit to drive on otherwise inaccessible beaches. Make sure you’re sand-ready; National Park Service staff cannot pull you out if you get stuck.

6. Take An (Almost) Presidential Getaway

Catoctin mountain park, nps/cunningham falls state park, maryland.

Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has had a chance to relax at Camp David in Catoctin Mountain Park. Even without a White House invite, you can get a sense of the atmosphere at the public part of the NPS Park and nearby Cunningham Falls State Park.

These parks offer hikes just 68 miles from Baltimore, with one of the best taking you to Maryland’s highest cascading waterfall. The easiest hike to see Cunningham Falls is the half-mile William Houck Area lower trail. There are longer, more strenuous options as well.

Pro Tip: This is worth an early morning wake-up call as parking lots fill up quickly.

History lovers can explore the Catoctin Iron Furnace , which is said to have made cannonballs for George Washington’s army, or plan a sweet visit to the Maple Syrup Festival held every March.

7. Get A Lock (House) On Adventure

C&o canal national historical park.

When 2020 canceled international trips, I took a closer look at travel close to home, and the C&O Canal National Historical Park kept me coming back for more. A 184.5-mile trail stretches from Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Maryland. Even though more than five million people visit the park each year, there is plenty of space to escape crowds, and at its most distant point, the trail is just 139 miles from Baltimore.

Bike or stroll the wide, flat towpath along the canal, which was once a major commercial waterway — there are access points all along the trail with nearby parking.

One point of the trail is significantly different: The Great Falls Overlook 15 miles outside Washington, D.C., feels like Colorado as the Potomac River transforms into a roaring series of falls. There is a wheelchair-accessible, paved footpath that takes you over part of the river to the main channel. You can look across the water to see the Virginia side of the falls at Great Falls Park . (It really does look different if you have time to go to both parks!)

Hikers can enjoy three sections of the Billy Goat Trail . Section A is the most strenuous and can be the most crowded, yet it is always a favorite with friends I take to the park.

Pro Tip: The trail is close to the Potomac River, so weather changes often cause parts of the trail to close. Check out conditions before you start your hike.

One potential exception to the day trip rule: Consider staying in a Canal Quarters Lockhouse . There are seven lockhouses along the C&O Canal available for overnight rentals. Each is decorated in the style of a historic era ranging from the 1830s to the 1950s, and the amenities match — meaning some have electricity and showers, while others have lanterns and water pumps. Pick your level of adventure and enjoy a night back in time before making the trip back to Baltimore.
