A well known lookout during the Civil War and the War of 1812 lies on the south side of the Inner Harbor - Federal Hill. Now an historic park, it features fantastic views of the entire Baltimore Inner Harbor area. Don't miss it!

To get your bearings, start your visit to Baltimore atop Federal Hill at Warren Avenue and Key Highway. From the top of Federal Hill, you can see a dramatic view of Baltimore's cityscape. The area was named after the city-wide celebration that followed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, and has been a public park since 1879. If heights don't frighten you, don't miss another view of the city from the Top of the World Observation Level and Museum at 401 E. Pratt Street (410-837-4515).
