Seeing is believing: downtown Baltimore is packed with surprising, rewarding finds. It boasts a dynamic theater district, a burgeoning gallery scene and is the epicenter of the city's beloved sports teams. Plus, for hungry travelers it offers everything from historic markets to swank restaurants. As the birthplace of Babe Ruth and the final resting place of Edgar Allen Poe, the heart of Charm City definitely deserves a visit.
The National Museum of Dentistry? Yes—hear us out! Home to chompers that once graced the gums of George Washington and dental instruments that tended to Queen Victoria’s teeth, the museum has a collection of 40,000 intriguing objects that promises to pique the interest of any skeptic. It’s also a great spot if you have little ones in tow, thanks to a number of interactive exhibits for kids.
