I'm a big fan of the outdoors AND history but to me, this was just an average park. It's a rectangular hill with a view of a mediocre skyline and that's about it. Oh, and the parking is awful just like everywhere in Baltimore.
This historical setting is just a short walk from the pavilions at the inner harbor and offers quite a spectacular view and a great place to take pictures.
I'm from Baltimore. Federal Hill didn't get it's name for nothing. Sure it's got a great view of the downtown for the tourists, but it's got historical importance that the tourists don't know about. The hill (really a park) goes back 230 years to the birth of the nation. Here the people of Baltimore celebrated the signing of the constitution,...

If you are visiting Baltimore, this is a must do and a great way to cap off a stroll around the Inner Harbor.

Nice view of the Inner Harbor. Pretty windy up there in March.The local dogs seem to enjoy it. That's about it.
Lovely little park with sweeping water views and benches to sit. Right near Museum of Visionary Art and Rusty Scupper so you can accomplish a lot in a very short distance.
You won't regret the huffing and puffing when you get to the top and see the amazing view of the harbor and all its glory. If you have kids, the bonus is at the top there is a playground!
Was a cold day so we did a walk through but I will go back and spend some time up on the hill with the kids maybe take a lunch and enjoy all the views.
One only has to go there once to appreciate what this spot offers. It sits high above the Inner Harbor in Baltimore giving you a view of the harbor, promenade, pavilions, various boats and yachts, the Science Center and the Aquarium. Whatever time you visit will give you a different feel. The mornings and afternoon on the weekend are usually...
