Updated Aug. 28, 2024

• All Things To Do

Baltimore Museum of Art Baltimore Museum of Art free

Situated in Charles Village, just north of the downtown area, the Baltimore Museum of Art claims the title of largest art museum in Maryland. Filled with more 95,000 art pieces, including an impressive Matisse collection, donated by Baltimore natives Claribel and Etta Cone, the museum draws art enthusiasts from across the globe. An entire Cone Wing of the museum is devoted to the sisters' spectacular repertoire of paintings from distinguished artists like Matisse, Picasso and Cézanne. Recent visitors praised the extensive collection, citing free admission to the world-class museum as a major perk.

The museum is also home to one of the largest Andy Warhol collections in the world and features European sculptures, African and Asian arts, and decorative arts. The Contemporary Wing, which showcases works by women and artists of color, among others, and the sculpture garden, which hosts jazz sessions during the summer, are two main museum highlights. If you're interested in discovering what else is on display, check out its official  website .

The Walters Art Museum The Walters Art Museum free

Although not as famous as the  Baltimore Museum of Art , this free Mount Vernon museum displays art dating back to 5000 B.C. Since it opened in 1934, the museum has expanded into a total of three distinctive buildings. Featuring Renaissance paintings, Asian art, Byzantine and Ethiopian art, and an extensive Egyptian collection, among other works, the exhibitions offer a diverse selection of art styles. The Walters is also known for its medieval galleries, which include artifacts like suits of armor from the Middle Ages. The Walters Art Museum also offers a variety of family-focused programs, as well as free drop-in art activities from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, which allows little ones to participate in arts and crafts projects. Recent visitors praised the museum's comprehensive collection and stunning interior design.

Free walk-in tours are available for those who want a more in-depth look at the galleries. While the museum itself is free to the public, keep in mind special events and lectures may require an admission fee for non-members. For further details on current exhibitions, consult the Walters Art Museum's official  website . The museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; on Thursdays, visiting hours are extended to 9 p.m.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards Oriole Park at Camden Yards

If you're downtown during a game day, you're bound to see droves of fans flashing orange as they head to Camden Yards. Located just a few blocks from the Inner Harbor, the stadium is one of the most famous in the league. Built in a retro style in the early 1990s, Oriole Park offers an authentic baseball game experience. The park features a well-kept field, abundant restaurants, beer, pretzel and hot dog stands, and beautiful views overlooking the city from the stands.

Recent visitors highlight the park as comfortable and festive. They enjoyed the food vendors and the prices inside the stadium, and they recommended seeing a game even if you are just a casual fan. The park also boasts an Orioles Hall of Fame and museum located outside stadium's front entrance.

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

While detained on a ship in the Chesapeake Bay during a battle in the War of 1812, lawyer, poet and writer Francis Scott Key saw a flag of 15 stars and stripes soaring above the fray, signaling the Americans success in holding of a British naval attack. As the story goes, this sight inspired him to write the country's national anthem. Today, the site of the battle – and Key's moment of inspiration – is one of the most popular tourist haunts in Baltimore.

Admission to the general park area is free, but there is a $15 fee for visitors ages 16 and older to enter the historic star-shaped fort. At the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, spectators can partake in a variety of programs, including the Fort, Flag and Fire! Ceremony every Saturday at 2 p.m. in July and August, which invites spectators to enjoy guided tours and even assist in the changing of the 42-foot flag. After the history lesson, relax on the grounds and enjoy a picnic with the family. Recent visitors said their favorite part of the tour was soaking in the scenic views of the water and brushing up on American history with "flag talks" given by highly informative park rangers.

Inner Harbor Inner Harbor free

Many of the attractions in Baltimore – including the  National Aquarium , the  Maryland Science Center , the  USS Constellation  and the major sports stadiums – are centered in the Inner Harbor. Since the 18th century, the Harbor has been one of the most important seaports in the country, with a prime position alongside the Chesapeake Bay. Apart from the surrounding sites, you can also spend the day walking around the area, taking in a street performance or exploring the shops and restaurants.

While some travelers cite the area as somewhat of a tourist trap, most agree that the scenic strolls and convenient location make it a must-see for any first-time visitor. The neighborhood serves as a great place to catch a water taxi, have a meal, and shop around. Plus, there are many summer concerts and events in the area.

American Visionary Art Museum American Visionary Art Museum

This  Federal Hill  art museum, which was once a whiskey warehouse, beckons to those with eclectic tastes. Upon entry, visitors are greeted by a 55-foot-tall "Whirligig" wind-powered configuration, which sets the tone for the quirky art displayed inside. The American Visionary Art Museum exhibits explore a wide range of topics, including the impact of technology on everyday life, the power of story-telling, race and gender. Recent reviewers highlight the colorful, multi-dimension collection as appealing to adults and kids alike. They also appreciate the hands-on nature of many exhibits.

The museum opens its doors Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Adult admission costs $15.95; admission for children ages 7 and up costs $9.95; children 6 and younger can visit for free. The easiest way to access the American Visionary Art Museum is by walking south along Baltimore's Inner Harbor to Federal Hill. For more information about the museum's exhibits and hours, check out the official website of the attraction.

Federal Hill Park Federal Hill Park free

For some of the best views of the  Inner Harbor  and Baltimore skyline, head to Federal Hill just south of downtown. The massive hill was once used during the Civil War and the War of 1812 as a major lookout spot. Until recently, it was also known as Signal Hill, where flags of local companies were raised as their ships arrived into the harbor. Past visitors said Federal Hill offers the best view in the city.

You have two options for getting to Federal Hill's summit: stairs or rolling hill. If you prefer the stairs, head up the 100 stairs on the Battery Avenue side. Warren Avenue, on the other hand, doesn't offer any stairs, but boasts scenic hillside views. If you're in the city for the Fourth of July, this makes for a great spot to watch the fireworks.

Patterson Park Patterson Park free

A marble fountain, swimming pool, lake, pagoda and dog park can be found in this 300-year-old park, where locals and visitors congregate for seasonal events and concerts. The Pagoda atop Hampstead Hill – formerly called the Observatory – was built in 1890 and crowns the park, affording unobstructed city views. Recent visitors called this pagoda unique and worth a visit.

When you're not soaking up the scenery from the Pagoda, people-watching or joining other revelers for outdoor concerts, you can also take part of the activities held by the Friends of Patterson Park and volunteers, including bird-watching tours and gardening classes. On a clear day, rare bird types, such as the great blue heron and American goldfinch, have been spotted throughout the park.

Maryland Science Center Maryland Science Center

This 200-plus-year-old Maryland Science Center is one of the oldest scientific institutions in the country. Originally a meeting place for amateur local scientists to discuss papers, the museum has transformed into one of the most visited attractions of the  Inner Harbor . Boasting interactive exhibits for children, a planetarium for astronomy gurus, and giant dinosaur replicas for budding paleontologists, the museum offers plenty of activity for its visitors. Recent visitors said this attraction is fun for all ages, and they appreciated that the exhibits occasionally change for repeat visitors.

One of the most popular parts of the center is the IMAX theater, which shows a wide range of movies, from science-related flicks to more mainstream blockbusters. General adult admission prices to the museum are $24.95, and entrance to the IMAX theater costs $13.95 (for feature films). Discounts are available for kids ages 3 to 12, seniors and large groups. The Science Center is located off of Light Street along the Inner Harbor, and is easily accessible via the Charm City Circulator. The museum operating hours vary, depending on time of year. Generally, the museum welcomes visitors from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, with extended hours on Saturdays. Consult the museum's official  website  for its current hours.

USS Constellation USS Constellation

The USS Constellation, which is currently docked at pier 1 along the  Inner Harbor , was first launched in 1854 and has had a tenuous history throughout its active life. The last all-sail ship in the U.S. Navy, the Constellation once played a role in disrupting the slave trade and has seen duty in both world wars. Today, visitors can climb aboard and tour the decks and play the part of a 19th-century sailor.

Travelers report that youngsters (and the young at heart), particularly enjoy hanging out on the vessel, since there is much to see and do. Plus, recent visitors complimented the informative tour guides at the historic site. However, touring the ship might not be the best for those who can get a bit claustrophobic as some spaces are tight and can be tricky to navigate. 

National Aquarium in Baltimore National Aquarium in Baltimore

One of the most well-known attractions in Baltimore , the National Aquarium houses more than 20,000 animals. The aquarium revolves around a bottom-level, open pool, which is filled with stingrays and fish. Continue upstairs and you'll discover a wide variety of marine animals, before you encounter the humidity of the rainforest replica at the top of the building. Visitors can return to the first floor down a spiraling path, which is enclosed by a giant shark tank.

A very popular attraction at the aquarium is the "Blacktip Reef" exhibit, a $12.5 million space designed to model the elaborate Indo-Pacific reef system that displays 20 blacktip reef sharks along with 60 distinct species of fish, including zebra sharks, clown triggerfish and a 500-pound green sea turtle named Calypso. "Dolphin Discovery" – the aquarium's largest exhibit – is another highlight thanks to the seven resident dolphins that provide a glimpse into how these animals play and interact.

Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum

Step inside the this brick house-turned-museum on 203 Amity St., and you'll stumble upon a cornucopia of Poe pieces – from a telescope to a portable traveling desk – preserved from when Poe and his family resided in Baltimore from 1833 to 1835. The writer's former residence  – now a National Historic Landmark  – is also the location where historians believe Poe composed many of his famous poems and stories, including "MS. Found in a Bottle" and "To Elizabeth." There are also permanent and rotating exhibits that catalogue Poe's life, work and ties to Baltimore.

Recent visitors said the house was well-preserved, and they appreciated the knowledgeable and friendly docents. However, some were disappointed that the rooms were mostly empty and not filled with period decor.

• Logging in to the Booking.com Extranet

The Extranet is an administrative dashboard that helps you manage your property. Learn how to access your account with our step-by-step guide for first-time log-ins, password recovery, and logging in from new devices.

In this article

Logging in to the Extranet for the first time

Log in to your group extranet, what to do if you’re locked out, what to do if your account is suspended, logging in from a new device.

To log in to the Extranet for the first time, follow these steps:

• Go to the Extranet  sign-in page
• Enter your username and click  Next  
• Enter your password and click Log in

Your log-in credentials are the same as the ones you entered when creating your account during the sign-up process. The log-in process is the same for all  Extranet account types . 

Note: If you were invited to manage a property using the Extranet and didn’t create the account yourself, you’ll need to log in using the email address and password you use to log in to your own Extranet.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

For security reasons, logging in to the Extranet requires 2FA. 2FA is a security method that requires you to use two forms of identification to log in to the Extranet and access confidential data. You first need to enter your user credentials, then provide a PIN that you can generate via the Pulse app or receive via text. To further ensure your security, you may be prompted with multiple authentication requests depending on the actions you want to take on the Extranet. 

To be able to receive your 2FA PIN and access the Extranet account at all times:

• Have the Pulse app installed on your phone to receive your second piece of authenticating info immediately and securely. To get your verification code, log in to the app and go to the  More page. You have limited time to enter your PIN on the Extranet.
• Make sure your phone number is always up to date. Learn how to update your contact info or add an additional phone number  in this article . We recommend adding a backup 2FA phone number in case the first number isn’t accessible or is out of reach.

Note: To protect yourself and your guests from malicious or fraudulent activity, you may be prompted to log in using 2FA multiple times within 24 hours.

Once you’ve successfully logged in, you'll reach your Extranet homepage or your group homepage. On the  Extranet you’ll be able to:

• Access your property information such as your property ID and view your property ad on our platform.
• Update your availability and room types, add photos, and request text changes to your property page. 
• Discover opportunities designed to boost your performance like setting up deals and offering discounts to travelers.

If you’ve worked with us before or have previously started but not completed a registration using a specific email address, we’ll send your log-in details to that same email address after we review your new registration. We’ll also email you a link to create your personal password.

To learn more about changing or resetting your Extranet log-in details, read  this .

If you manage more than one property, you may have access to the Group Extranet. The Group Extranet is a management page that gathers different properties in an overview, allowing you to manage them more easily and saving you time when managing your portfolio.

To log in to the Group Extranet, follow the usual log-in steps by entering your username and password. Whether you have a primary, admin, or non-admin account, you’ll get access to the Group Extranet homepage where you can navigate and manage tasks for all the properties in your portfolio.

With a primary account, you can access all pages. With other accounts, you can’t access sensitive financial information.

Logging in to the Group Extranet may require 2FA. You might receive your second piece of authenticating info via text sent to the number in your account or via the Pulse app. 

To receive the text, make sure your phone number is up to date by following these steps:

• Log in to the Extranet
• Click the user account icon and choose  Contacts
• Add your contact info under “Primary point of contact”

If you forget your username and password, you can recover them by clicking  Having trouble signing in? , then either  Forgot your username? or  Forgot your password? on the Extranet  sign-in page .

In exceptional cases, if you can’t complete 2FA, follow these steps:

• Select Unable to verify? when prompted for the PIN.
• Select the reason you can’t complete the verification process.
• Contact customer service and provide them with the PIN on your screen. They’ll provide you with a new verification code. You’ll have to provide your property ID and call from a number listed on the Extranet
• Use the code to sign in

Note: Extranet accounts that haven’t been used for more than six months will be locked. Those that haven’t been used for more than 24 months will be disabled. In situations where you’re locked out, you’ll need to contact our Customer Service team for assistance.

If you’re having problems logging in and need help, see these  tips for accessing your account .

If your account is suspended, this is likely because of security concerns.

If you’re facing this issue shortly after registering on our platform, there may be some additional checks needed to make sure your property meets our guidelines before going live.  Contact us to find out what to do next.

If you’ve been a partner for a while, you’ll receive an email from us explaining why we suspended your account and what steps to follow to reopen your property. Follow the steps in that email.

When logging in to the Extranet from a new device on a web browser, you’ll be asked to verify your details as outlined above, either via text or a Pulse verification code. 

You can choose one of these options:

• Text message – select this option to have a six-digit code sent to your phone.
• Pulse verification code – log in to the Pulse app and get your PIN by following these steps: tap  More , then  Settings , and  Extranet PIN .

Enter your six-digit code or PIN. Now you’ll be able to access the Extranet again.

How can I update my log-in details?

If you’ve changed your email address or phone number, you’ll need to update your  log-in details and your  Partner Hub info . Read  this article to learn how to update your contact info.

I am an employee of the property and need Extranet access – how can I get that?

Each property ID has an Extranet account with at least one admin user. The admin user can grant you access to the Extranet depending on your function at the property (e.g. front desk manager). Find out who the Extranet admin is at your property and follow  these steps on how they can grant you access to the Extranet.

Can I share my log-in details to the Extranet with others or the staff?

We recommend not sharing your log-in details with anyone due to security concerns and log-in issues. Sharing your log-in details increases the risk of your account being compromised and makes our security monitoring less efficient. Also, most log-in attempts prompt a 2FA request, and a PIN is sent via the Pulse app or text to the contact details associated with the account. Unless shared in a timely manner with those trying to log in, 2FA won’t be completed and they’ll be locked out.

Why should I add multiple users to the Extranet?

Adding multiple points of contact with different email addresses and phone numbers can allow easy access in case of changes in contact info or staff.  Read this article to learn how you can do it.

I see an error message when I’m attempting to log in. What should I do?

Sometimes you might have trouble signing in to the Extranet if there’s too much data stored in your browser. If you’re redirected to another page or get an error, restart from admin.booking.com by typing it directly into the address bar to ensure the URL takes you to the Booking.com log-in page.

How can I remove someone’s access to the Extranet?

You can remove or limit access to someone’s account if you hold admin user rights. Read how to do it  in this article .

How can I edit or grant admin rights to someone else?

You can provide admin rights to another user. Read how to do it in this article .

How can I access my Group Extranet?

The Group Extranet is a home page available to some partners who manage multiple properties listed on our platform. To access it, follow the usual log-in steps or the log-in troubleshooting steps. Once you’re logged in, you’ll land on the Group Extranet homepage   where you can manage all your properties. Read  this article to find out how to change or reset your Extranet log-in details.

How can I add or remove a property from my Group Extranet?

To add or remove a property from your Group Extranet, you’ll need to contact our Support team. Read  this article to learn how to contact us.
