This popular section on the southern tip of Baltmore is the center of tourist activity, with a wealth of scenery, attractions, shops, restaurants, and boating excursions offering endless entertainment. Several museums and the highly acclaimed aquarium are also located here, and street performances on the open-air concert decks are a common occurrence. Once a desolate strip of sagging buildings and factories, this bright, bustling area has been masterfully restored for visitors and locals to enjoy.
