Grab a quick bite at Broadway Market. The historic covered market is open until 18:00, so you have plenty of time to browse the gift shops or grab a sandwich before the sun goes down.
16:17
Walk up to Federal Hill Park. This hilly park is one of Baltimore's best points for picture taking, offering great views of both the north and south skylines over the Inner Harbor. The cannons here seem to point toward the setting sun, making it the perfect spot to wait for the golden light.
17:07
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow over the harbor and the city skyline. This is the moment the view is most dramatic.
17:27
End your evening at Cat's Eye Pub. Just a short walk from the park, this eccentric dive bar offers a true Baltimore experience with good prices on local craft beers like Natty Boh. It is the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.
Local tip
Federal Hill Park gets crowded with tourists taking photos. Arrive early to secure a good spot near the cannons if you want the best angle for the sunset view.
