Cobbled streets and a waterfront setting make Fell’s Point and Canton must-see locations in Baltimore. Fell’s Point’s focus is Market Square, its 18th-century buildings now home to boutiques and restaurants. Historic pubs are a particular feature of this inner-city enclave, numbering more than 120, and the waterfront here has a salty maritime flavor for promenades and city views. Neighboring Canton also has a central square, Canton Square, a patch of green surrounded by more sophisticated restaurants, galleries and shops.

With the cobblestones and colonial architecture, I can't get enough of Fells Point and its historical appeal. To top it off, the main street, Thames, is right on the water, so you can wander along the promenade along the harbor. Across the harbor, you'll see the huge Under Armour factory and the glowing red Domino Sugar sign—important symbols of Baltimore. Fells is also the launching point for Baltimore's pirate tours, which is a fun thing to do if you're into that.Fells Point has an array of delicious restaurants, bars, and shops that will keep anyone occupied for a day. This is also where you'll find the famous Bertha's Mussels.Every summer in July and August, Fells Point Main Street presents films on the pier—a great way to enjoy Fells!Some of my favorite bars in Fells include Duda's Tavern and the Wharf Rat. I highly recommend a stop in at the record store, Sound Garden and Loring Cornish's amazing mosaic art next door.By Elizabeth Doerr, AFAR Local Expert
