About Maryland
For a relatively small state, Maryland certainly packs a punch when it comes to things to see and do. The state which surrounds the nation’s capital is one of the USA’s most densely-populated regions, but it still boasts beautiful natural wonders — including the Allegheny Mountains and Chesapeake Bay. Accommodation options range from swish city pads to intimate waterfront inns, catering to a whole host of tastes and budgets. Some of the best places to stay in Maryland promise a lively Baltimore city break for groups of friends, but there’s also plenty of scope to hide away in tranquil rural surroundings as a couple or family.
Explore post-industrial Baltimore for fantastic arts, culture and foodie attractions, or venture to charming Annapolis, a pretty colonial city close to Washington D.C. Maryland’s state capital, Annapolis is ideal for history buffs, but its waterfront setting also makes it popular with keen sailors. For the ultimate Chesapeake Bay experience of inlets, wetlands, fishing and sailing, head to laid-back St Michaels.
You’ll find Maryland wonderful for relaxed road trips, with secluded inns in picturesque places all over the state. Famous Civil War sites for history enthusiasts include Antietam Battlefield, and northern Maryland allows easy access to battlefields in Pennsylvania, including Gettysburg. There’s excellent hiking, cycling and nature tours in the countryside, as well as fishing, kayaking and boating out on the water. You can also expect top-notch seasonal produce and delectable seafood — this is definitely a destination for foodies!
Whether you’re travelling as a family, with friends or as a couple, the best places to stay in Maryland offer a warm east coast welcome and no shortage of activities and attractions. Spring and autumn are particularly beautiful times to visit, when the flowers are in bloom or the leaves are turning red, orange and gold.
