The Inner Harbor is the center of Baltimore and the most prosperous place. It is called the Inner Harbor because it is located in the city. It was once a major port for exporting goods, mainly sugar and iron. There are aquariums, museums, bookstores, etc. Water taxis are responsible for transportation, and there are acrobatic performances on weekends. Of course, there are also many delicious foods. It is also the birthplace of the American national anthem.
