Timeline
16:22
Grab a bite and a drink at Little Havana. The Cuban sandwiches are a Baltimore staple and the atmosphere is lively. Since you are heading to the park for sunset, this early stop lets you fuel up without rushing.
16:52
Walk up to Federal Hill Park. This hilly park overlooks the Inner Harbor and offers great views of both the north and south skylines. The cannons here all seem to point toward the water. Arrive just as the sun begins to dip, catching the golden light before the final moment.
17:07
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The sky will turn over the harbor as the city lights begin to flicker on. Stay for a few minutes to let the view settle.
17:37
Head down to Barfly's for dinner. This is the best spot for pizza within a few blocks of the Inner Harbor, featuring a tasty, thick fresh dough crust and a nice bar. It is a reliable, hearty end to the evening.
18:22
Finish the night with a drink at Idle Hour. This is one of the best dive bars in this part of the city. It is quiet, not too crowded, and away from the frat party energy to the north. The cocktails are worth the slightly higher price.
Local tip
Federal Hill Park is a big hill. Wear comfortable shoes for the walk up and down. The view is worth the effort, especially when the harbor lights reflect on the water at sunset.
