We climbed the Hill
Oct 2022
Such a great experience, walking where the defensive stronghold for the War of 1812 was quite the experience.

Best City views- Clean and Beautiful
Jun 2022
Walked the harbor view walk and came across Federal Hill Park. Climb the stairs to the top for the best views of Baltimore city and the harbor. Come in the summer for different festivals or movies in the park. Playground for the kids is a plus

Great place to see the city views while chilling!!
May 2022
Any park with a view of the city is worth a visit! So we drove up to Federal Hill Park and parked and walked around the park and found a bench to sit and relax and look at the Baltimore skyline and harbor and beyond. It's a great place for families or couples enjoying the views of the buildings and the tall ships, checking out some history, working out (even saw some running up and down the steps). Or if you need some alone time to just chill or read, all is good here. And from above, check out the American Visionary Art Museum building that is covered in glass mosaic tiles...what a wonder!

Beautiful day overlooking the harbor
Oct 2021
A steep climb, but well worth the view. We visited on a beautiful, warm day in Baltimore. The view of the harbor is worth the climb.

For a summer weeknight this is good, but weekends are terrible for parking and crowds. Good view of downtown, tall ships.

Great View of the City
Mar 2020 • Couples
Nice views of the city. A couple of statues and some informational signs — but mainly a place to get great pics of the city & the harbor.
