Fells Point Shopping Walk (Self Guided), Baltimore

Go on a shopping spree and enjoy fantastic views at the same time when you browse the stores at Fell鈥檚 Point. This historic neighborhood sits on the Baltimore waterfront and is filled with colorful old buildings that date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Fell's Point was named after an Englishman who founded a ship-building company here in the early part of the 18th century. The area was formerly a shipyard and much of the neighborhood's appearance has remained unchanged over the centuries. Many of the 18th and 19th-century homes and storefronts used to be either a boarding house, a bar or a brothel.

Wander in and out of the shops and boutiques to purchase clothes, souvenirs, household items and handcrafted goods.

When it comes to finding something to eat, there is a good choice of eateries here, including caf茅s, pubs and upscale restaurants.
