With a nautical feel in the air and the essence of history in most landmarks, Baltimore is a truly beautiful city that features many choices for dating. As luck would have it, this bustling metropolis is nicknamed “Charm City,” so the scales are already tipped in the dater’s favor. Combine that with these top ten tips for dating in Baltimore and you’re sure to have a great time!
1. Get Your Bearings
If you’re interested in plenty of places to visit and sights to see, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is the heart of the city. From quaint pubs and a multitude of dining choices to entertainment and fun, Inner Harbor has it all and a great view of Chesapeake Bay. Fells Point offers a great taste of history as well as excitement. With nightclubs, antique shops, saloons and more than 30 historic places of interest – Fell’s Point is a waterfront attraction for young and old alike.

2. Prepare to Set Sail
Ed Kane’s water taxi is one of the greatest ways to get through and around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and it also stops at Fell’s point. Riding the taxi is an affordable alternative to transportation and you can go just about anywhere. You pay only once for a full day of riding the taxi and adult tickets will only cost you $9. If you’ll be driving, there are several managed parking facilities available, including the underground garage beneath the Gallery, which is closest to Inner Harbor. Entrances to this one are on Calvert and South Streets.
3. Dinner Date?
Baltimore features more than just seafood, though that’s the preferred flavor of many tourists and locals. Writer H.L. Mencken said, “There is a saying in Baltimore that crabs may be prepared in fifty ways and all of them are good.” In fact, every night, the Blue Sea Grill on Market Place serves up succulent seafood dishes in an elegant setting. It has great outdoor seating, but be prepared to serve up your credit card. Entrees go for around $18 to $24 each.
4. Let Your Umbrella Tag Along
Baltimore in the summer is gorgeous, but bring your umbrella. Afternoon showers are a normal event – along with morning showers and evening showers! While you probably won’t freeze in winter with the average temperatures staying above 30 degrees, it’s a damp cold so make sure you bring a thick sweater.
5. Go a Little Wild
A “daytime” date is a great chance to catch the shows at Baltimore’s National Aquarium. From an enormous “Amazon Rainforest” exhibit featuring wild birds and a natural-feeling muggy climate to more than 8,000 marine animals – it’s a great way to add some excitement to your date. Check out the underwater cameras and thrilling high-tech graphics at the dolphin show. Tickets cost $14 per adult and you’ll want to devote at least a few hours to enjoying the sights. A quick tip: the aquarium is one of Ed Kane’s water taxi stops.
