Marble, monuments and millionaires — Mount Vernon Place is often called Baltimore’s most beautiful neighborhood, and this cheerful two-hour walking tour shows you exactly why. Bring your camera: nearly every corner frames another postcard of churches, libraries and grand homes built by the city’s great philanthropists.
Along the way you will admire marble churches and monuments filled with Tiffany glass and hear the stories of the movers and shakers who paid for them. At its peak, this neighborhood was home to more millionaire philanthropists than any other place in America, and that golden-age ambition still shines in every facade.
The tour lasts about 2 hours on foot, so comfortable shoes are a smart idea. Tickets start at $30 per person, a happy price for an open-air museum of architecture and ambition in the heart of Baltimore.
