A ‘museumwithout walls’, Annapolis is a lively, upbeat, contemporary city where four centuries ofarchitecture embrace 21st-century living. Here all roads lead to the water and a nauticalheritage intrinsically linked to the Chesapeake Bay.1Home to the US Naval Academy, “Naptown” is influenced by the military and collegiatetraditions that come with having a major military and world class academic institutionwithin the city boundaries. From Commissioning Week, to home sporting events includingNavy Football, to class reunions that sprinkle the weekends throughout the calendar,Annapolis is never too far from Navy’s influence.Annapolis is also known as America’s Sailing Capital, but don’t forget the significantmaritime history Annapolis has with power boats and fishing vessels. Annapolis providesaccess not only to the Chesapeake, but also to a wealth of rivers, creeks and inland baysripe for exploring by kayak, canoe or stand up paddleboard.Downtown Annapolis is famous for its historic inns and scenic streets, but along thosestreets are some of the finest restaurants the region has to offer. Maryland Avenue is longtreasured as one of downtown Annapolis’ best spots for shopping, dining, and experiencingthe culture.Eastport in Annapolis is a place unto itself, with yachts, art galleries, residents, spas, andrestaurants. The bridge into Eastport takes travelers from downtown Annapolis into napolis.com1221
