Baltimore Hotels

Baltimore-Washington International Airport is 16km (10mi) south of the city centre off Route 295. There's an easy-to-negotiate bus and light-rail connection to the city, or you can take a local train from the airport to downtown. Amtrak runs a service between the airport and Penn Station, which is on the border of North Baltimore. There are also shuttle buses between major Baltimore hotels and the airport.

Once you're in Baltimore, the public transport system is well integrated and easy to navigate. The most useful for travel within the city is the bus system. The light rail is a one-line train that runs north-south for 35km (22mi). It's most useful for commuting to/from the suburbs, although there are six stops more or less downtown along Howard St. The metro runs from Charles St Centre downtown out to Owings Mills. The stops downtown are along Eutaw St. The fare system for bus, light rail, and metro systems is identical; daily and weekly passes are available. Water taxis run a scheduled route with stops on the Inner Harbor, Little Italy and Fells Point. Pedicabs run within the inner city for negotiated fares.
