NileGuide Expert Says:
Best outdoor view of the Harbor and other parts of the city.
NileGuide Expert tip:
Be ready to climb 100 steps to get to the top or walk around to the south side to avoid the extra exercise.
Description:
Yes, it's that big hill overlooking the Inner Harbor. Take the 100 steps on the Battery Avenue side, or else enter from Warren Avenue, where you won't have any steps to contend with at all, except maybe a curbstone. The hill has been valued for its scenic views since the first Baltimoreans came here to watch construction around the harbor. A single cannon recalls the Civil War, when federal guns were trained on the city. Take your dog (on a leash) or your children. Once the kids get tired of the view, they can play in the fenced-in playground.
