One of the many great things about Baltimore is how close it is to a lot of other great American cities -- and how easy it is to get here. Baltimore is about an hour's drive from Washington, DC, about an hour and a half by car from Philadelphia, and about three hours from New York City. There's a major international airport right on the edge of town and a train station in the heart of the city. And there are plenty of buses, shuttles, and cabs to take you the rest of the way. Here are a few resources to help you plan your trip.
