Maryland

Explore the dynamic beauty of the Old Line State with our Maryland Travel Guide. Often called “America in Miniature,” Maryland packs a variety of landscapes into one state—from the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay to the Appalachian Mountains. With over 4,000 miles of tidal shoreline, Maryland boasts more waterfront than any other state except Alaska. It’s also home to Assateague Island, known for its wild horses and protected beaches.

History buffs can visit Fort McHenry, where the Star-Spangled Banner was born, or explore the Civil War trails across the state. Savor iconic Maryland blue crabs, stroll through Annapolis—the Sailing Capital of the U.S.—or hike along the C&O Canal. Maryland offers rich culture, coastal adventure, and year-round attractions for every traveler.
