Premier Destination at the Inner Harbor

Harborplace and The Gallery are two of the most popular destinations at the Inner Harbor. Harborplace features two pavilions that are alive with the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of the Cheasapeake and Baltimore culture. Harborplace was the main focus of the Inner Harbor's renovation in 1980 and the area continues to grow. The addition of The Gallery added a more traditional shopping establishment and can be considered more of a mall, while Harborplace is more of a market.

This mix of indoor and outdoor offers entertainment, shopping, and dining. The Light Street and the Pratt Street pavillions are like public markets and feature stands of gourmet and local treats, memorabilia and locally-oriented merchandise, and a vareity of tradition restaurants. The pavilions are popular destinations before and after games, trips to The National Aquarium or Science Center, or a night out on the town. A harbor taxi is available to take visitors to different points on the harbor including Fell's Point.

Restaurants at Harborplace include Edo Sushi, The Cheesecake Factory, and Tir Na Nog. Phillip's Seafood is a Maryland tradition and is represented in three different forms at Harborplace. There is the buffet, the express, and the traditional restaurant that offers diners a chance to enjoy a real Maryland crabfeast right by the sloshing waters of the Inner Harbor. Tir Na Nog is a tradtional Irish pub featuring traditional Irish favorites and great beer. Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries and Johnny Rocket are both equally great places to enjoy a burger.
