Maryland (USA) - Wink Travel Guide

Maryland is a Mid-Atlantic state in the USA, which was traditionally part of the South. Nicknamed America in Miniature, Maryland has a little of everything: both sea and mountain, urban and rural, historic and modern.

Maryland's biggest attractions by way of sightseeing are almost all in Baltimore, centered around the Inner Harbor, including the National Aquarium, historic Fort McHenry, the Maryland Zoo, and a host of great museums.

Annapolis is sightseeing destination #2, home to the Maryland State House, the U.S. Naval Academy, and a lovely historic center. Ocean City has its fair share of fun tourist kitsch as well. For more off-the-beaten path sights, look for the National Mormon Temple in Kensington at Christmas time, or visit Cumberland's historic district, set in the beautiful Allegheny Mountains.
