Baltimore Warnings Or Dangers Tips by Dabs

Baltimore is a big, urban city and has it's share of problems with crime, at one time being the murder capital of the US. Be aware of your surroundings, neighborhoods change very quickly and you may find yourself, like I did, walking through a housing project. Chances are that I would have been fine if I had continued on but it just wasn't worth the risk to me so I turned around and headed back towards the Inner Harbor.

My advice is to ask at your hotel if the neighborhood you are heading to is safe and if it is safe to walk to. And then still keep your eyes open, one of the staff at the Baltimore Visitors Center was the one who told me it was OK to walk through a housing project. Or better yet, just take a cab if money is not an object.
