Baltimor

Unutrašnja luka Baltimora, gledana sa Federal Hila, simbol je „Šarm grada“ – istorijske luke pretvorene u priobalje pogodno za porodice. U samom gradu živi oko 568.000 ljudi (procena iz 2024. godine) i nalazi se metropolitansko područje od oko 2,8 miliona stanovnika. Najveći grad Merilenda, Baltimor, leži na zapadnoj obali zaliva Česapik, gde se reka Patapsko uliva u zaliv. Teren je relativno ravan u centru grada, uzdiže se do blagih brda („planine“ oko 147 metara) prema severu; linija pada između Pijemonta i atlantske priobalne ravnice prolazi kroz grad. Klima Baltimora je vlažna suptropska (vruća, vlažna leta i hladne do hladne zime), sa prolećem koje dolazi do kraja aprila i prosečnim snežnim padavinama ispod 76 centimetara.

Baltimor u brojkama: Baltimor je američki grad srednje veličine sa prevelikom ulogom. Evo nekih ključnih brojki (sve iz skorašnjih podataka):

• Stanovništvo: ~568.000 (grad, 2024); otprilike 2,84 miliona u metropolitanskoj oblasti (20. najveća metropolitanska oblast u SAD).
• Demografija: Afroamerikanci čine većinu (~59% stanovnika), dok belci (~26%) i druge grupe čine ostatak. Prosečna starost stanovnika grada je oko 36,1 godina, a otprilike 37% odraslih ima diplomu osnovnih studija. Prosečni prihod domaćinstva je oko 59.600 dolara, a stopa siromaštva je neobično visoka (~20%) – što odražava stvarne ekonomske izazove.
• Ekonomija: Baltimor, tradicionalno industrijski i brodarski centar, sada se oslanja na uslugeUniverzitet i bolnica DŽons Hopkins (najveći privatni poslodavac u državi) su oslonac njenog zdravstvenog/obrazovnog sektora. Finansije i bankarstvo su prisutni (istorijsko sedište Banke Amerike bilo je ovde, sada je uglavnom premešteno), a luka Baltimor ostaje nacionalno blago: posebno je istakla da je to glavna luka za uvoz automobila u SAD. Transport i logistika (međudržavni putevi, železnica, luka) su veliki pokretači.

Lokacija: Baltimor se nalazi u srednjoatlantskom delu SAD (severoistočni Merilend), oko 64 kilometra severno od Vašingtona. NJegova luka je na nivou mora i formirana je rekom Patapsko; Unutrašnja luka koju danas vidimo nekada je bila najprometnije industrijsko pristanište Baltimora. Gradska luka se „uliva“ u Česapikski zaliv, postavljajući Baltimor na ključnu atlantsku pomorsku rutu. NJegova geografska širina (~39,3°N) daje mu četiri različita godišnja doba: sparna leta i hladne, snežne zime.

Istorijski pregled: Osnovan 1729. godine od strane trgovaca duvanom, grad Baltimor je brzo izrastao u kolonijalnu luku. U početku je čak služio i kao privremeno sedište Kontinentalnog kongresa 1776–77. Dva događaja su dovela Baltimor u centar pažnje međunarodne zajednice: Bitka za Baltimor u septembru 1814. (u Ratu 1812. godine) – kada je odbrana tvrđave Makhenri inspirisala Fransisa Skota Kija da napiše „Zastavu posutu zvezdama“ – i neredi u ulici Prat u aprilu 1861. godine, jedna od prvih nasilnih epizoda Američkog građanskog rata. U 19. veku Baltimor je izgradio prvu železnicu zajedničkog prevoznika u Americi (Baltimorska i Ohajska železnica, osnovana 1827. godine), povezujući Srednji zapad sa svojom lukom. To je učvrstilo ulogu grada kao transportnog čvorišta. Tokom 20. veka, Baltimor se uzdigao (a kasnije i opadao) kao proizvodni i čelični centar pre nego što se ponovo fokusirao na zdravstvenu zaštitu, obrazovanje i tehnologiju.

Lokalna kultura i atmosfera: Baltimor ima surov, ali topao karakter. Govori se engleski (sa lokalnim „bolmerskim“ akcentom), a gradske četvrti i dalje odražavaju vekove imigracije. Čuju se odjeci njegove velike afroameričke zajednice u crkvama i muzičkim dvoranama, a tragovi irskog, italijanskog, jevrejskog i istočnoevropskog nasleđa Baltimora na nekim festivalima i u kuhinji. Grad ponosno slavi svoj jedinstveni sleng i tradicije – od stare „hon“ kulture do ljubavi prema plavim rakovima iz Merilenda i začinima iz Old Beja. Godišnji događaji govore o identitetu Baltimora: hipodrom Pimliko (otvoren 1870. godine) održava čuveni Priknes Stejks svakog maja, a u julu se centar grada transformiše za Artskejp (najveći besplatni umetnički festival u zemlji, na kojem učestvuju hiljade umetnika). Nasuprot tome, atmosfera jednog naselja – „Fels Point“ – je pomorska i boemska, sa kaldrmisanim ulicama i kafanama. Širom grada, ljudi imaju reputaciju da su direktni i ponosni. Kako jedan meštanin kaže, „U Baltimoru ćete dobiti direktan savet i prijateljsku dobrodošlicu. LJudi vole istoriju ovog grada i uvek se nadaju da ćete pronaći svoje mesto u njemu.“

Najvažnije atrakcije (obavezno videti): Baltimor nudi mnoštvo iskustava u kompaktnom gradu. Najvažnije atrakcije uključuju:

• Unutrašnja luka i istorijski brodovi: Dragulj turizma je obnovljena Unutrašnja luka (na slici gore). Ovde ćete pronaći Nacionalni akvarijum i niz muzeja i atrakcija. Istorijski brodovi (USS Sazvežđe, Svetlosni brod Česapik, podmornica USS Bakalaritd.) čine „Istorijske brodove u Baltimoru“, što posetiocima omogućava da „dožive život na moru iz 19. veka sa jednom od najimpresivnijih kolekcija vojnih brodova na svetu“. Krstarenja lukom i vodeni taksiji često polaze.
• Nacionalni spomenik Fort Makhenri: Na samo vožnji vodenim taksijem ili kolima od centra grada, ova tvrđava u obliku zvezde je mesto gde je Ki još uvek video kako se vijori zastava 1814. godine. Danas je to odličan muzej i stanica na mnogim obilascima luke.
• Istorijski kvartovi: Fels Point i Federal Hil se ubrajaju među najživopisnija područja Baltimora. Fels Point nudi živahne barove na obali i kaldrmisane ulice. Park Federal Hil (na južnoj ivici luke) pruža klasičan pogled na gradski horizont. U Maunt Vernonu i na zapadnoj strani blizu Pen stanice, možete šetati među veličanstvenim vilama iz 19. veka, spomenikom Vašingtonu u Baltimoru (napravljenim po uzoru na onaj u Vašingtonu) i kulturnim institucijama.
• Sport i stadioni: Navijači Baltimora su strastveni. Kamden Jards (Oriol Park) se često smatra najboljim stadionom u zemlji; utakmice Oriolsa (april–septembar) su letnji ritual. Novi stadion M&T Bank je domaćin Baltimor Rejvensima iz NFL-a, a nedeljom u jesen ćete pronaći atmosferu žurke na prvenstvenom delu terena. (Čak i ako niste vatreni navijač, odlazak na utakmicu ili obilazak Kamden Jardsa je vrhunsko iskustvo Baltimora.)
• Muzeji Baltimora: Baltimor je bogat muzejima. Umetnički muzej Volters i Muzej umetnosti Baltimora (severno od Unutrašnje luke) ponose se kolekcijama svetske klase – i imaju besplatan ulaz. Volters, na primer, ima izvanrednu egipatsku i srednjovekovnu umetničku kolekciju. Američki muzej vizionarske umetnosti, nekoliko milja južnije, prikazuje neobičnu narodnu i autsajdersku umetnost. Na kulturnom frontu, Muzej Redžinalda F. Luisa priča priču o afroameričkom nasleđu Merilenda, a Baltimorski simfonijski orkestar (u Mejerhof holu) je veoma cenjen. Turistički vodič NG napominje: „Bez obzira da li u svojoj porodici imate ljubitelje istorije, sportske navijače, džez ljubitelje ili naučnike u usponu, oni će pronaći nešto što će ih zanimati u Baltimoru“ – i taj savet važi u njegovim brojnim muzejima (npr. Naučni centar Merilenda i istorijski zatvori Fort Makhenrija).
• Ostale najvažnije informacije: Mala Italija nudi čuvene prodavnice testenina i pekare (i godišnji festival u junu). Rodno mesto bejzbol legende Bejba Ruta sada je mali muzej. Leksingtonska pijaca (koja radi od 1782. godine) je odlično mesto za ručak za kolače od rakova i lokalnu hranu. Ne propustite Garetove kokice (na Bloku). Za ljubitelje istorije, tu su i Železnički muzej B&O i Kuća/muzej Edgara Alana Poa (Po je živeo u Baltimoru 1830-ih).

Kako doći: Glavni aerodrom je Međunarodni aerodrom Baltimor/Vašington Tergud Maršal (BWI), oko 14 kilometara južno od centra grada. (To je veliko čvorište sa mnogim domaćim letovima.) Iz Vašingtona ili severoistoka, vozovi Amtraka staju na Pen stanici u centru Baltimora. Glavni autoputevi (I‑95, I‑83, I‑70, Baltimorska obilaznica I‑695) svi se ovde spajaju.

Kretanje: Centar Baltimora je prilično pogodan za pešačenje, posebno oko Unutrašnje luke, Fels Pointa i Maunt Vernona. Međutim, za mnoge četvrti i predgrađa potreban je automobil. Javni prevoz obezbeđuje Uprava za tranzit Merilenda: metro (na severozapadu), laka železnica (severno do Hant Valija i južno prema BVI) i lokalni autobusi. Pored toga, besplatni autobusi Čarm Siti Cirkulator (4 linije označene bojama) povezuju centralne četvrti. Zabavne opcije uključuju Baltimorski vodeni taksi, koji nudi celodnevne ture po luci.

Saveti za putnike: Koriste se američka valuta (USD) i engleski jezik. Planirajte da ostavite bakšiš od ~15–20% u restoranima i taksijima. Baltimor je poznat po ljubaznom meštanima, ali kao i svaki veliki grad, ima područja koja treba izbegavati nakon mraka. Posetioci izveštavaju da Turistička područja (Unutrašnja luka, Mala Italija, Fels Point, Federal Hil) su generalno bezbedna i dobro patrolirana, ali treba pokazati uobičajenu gradsku pamet. Ne lutajte nepoznatim, slabo osvetljenim ulicama kasno noću. Takođe, imajte na umu da Baltimor doživljava letnje vrućine i vlažnost, i da neka naselja mogu biti prljava. Kao što jedan stanovnik savetuje, „Budite prisebni i držite se živahnih mesta nakon zalaska sunca.“

Kratak pregled Baltimora

Baltimore, sometimes referred to as “Charm City,” is a city where modernity, culture, and history all coexist peacefully. Beyond its well-known sites, this energetic city on the Chesapeake Bay provides a rich tapestry of experiences. From its great past to its energetic present, Baltimore surprises and delights tourists constantly.

Baltimore seems initially to be just another busy metropolitan center, but a closer look reveals a city full of personality and appeal. Each with their unique character, its neighborhoods offer a window into the varied fabric of the city. From the artistic energy of Station North to the old cobblestone lanes of Fells Point, Baltimore’s neighborhoods capture both the city’s modernism and rich cultural legacy.

The fabric of the United States is much woven with Baltimore’s past. Key in the War of 1812, the city produced the national anthem. The venerable Fort McHenry invites guests to explore its rich past, so acting as a proud reminder of this age. Beyond only its historical importance, Baltimore is a city of firsts having founded the first American railroad, telegraph line, and dental school.

Baltimore is a culturally melting pot with many influences. The American Visionary Art Museum and the Walters Art Museum among others highlight a variety of artistic expressions in the city. World-class presentations appealing to a broad spectrum of taste come from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Hippodrome Theatre. The city’s gastronomic scene is equally remarkable, with a range of restaurants mirroring its cosmopolitan past. From creative farm-to—table cuisine to the well-known Maryland blue crabs, Baltimore’s gastronomic scene is a joyful trip.

Baltimore stands out mostly for its eccentricities. Celebrated yearly at the Hon Fest, the city boasts the eccentric and cherished “Hon” culture marked by beehive hairdos and cat-eye glasses. The city’s passion of the unusual is also shown in its vivid street art, where installations and murals give the metropolitan scene color and imagination.

Istorija Baltimora

Rodno mesto nacionalne himne

Baltimore holds particular significance in American history since the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” was born there. Francis Scott Key penned this famous song during the War of 1812. Key watched the British bombardment of Fort McHenry early on September 14, 1814. Seeing the American flag still flying over the fort motivated him to write the poem “Defence of Fort M’Henry,” which later became the words to the national anthem despite the unrelenting attack. The anthem honors the bravery and fortitude shown during the war, so Baltimore comes to represent American tenacity and allegiance.

Fort Mekhenri: Priča posuta zvezdama

Situated at Baltimore Harbor’s entrance, Fort McHenry is a historic site of great significance for the War of 1812. British troops found the fort’s strategic position perfect for their target. A defining event in the Battle of Baltimore was the 25-hour bombardment by the British navy. The fort’s defenders stood strong despite the heavy shelling; the sight of the big American flag flying over the fort the next morning announced a major triumph for the United States. Apart from motivating the national anthem, this occasion confirmed Fort McHenry’s significance in American history as a monument of patriotism and tenacity.

Veliki požar u Baltimoru: Uspon iz pepela

Baltimore suffered one of its worst tragedies in February 1904: the Great Baltimore Fire. Over 1,500 buildings were destroyed and the city’s infrastructure was badly disrupted as the fire raged for more than thirty hours. The city responded brilliantly even with the enormous damage. Baltimore had started to rebuild two years ago, implementing modernizing cityscape changes and new fire safety rules. Not only in Baltimore but all around the United States, the fire brought about notable changes to building codes and firefighting strategies.The city’s people’s tenacity and will are shown by their capacity to rise from the ashes and reconstruct more robust than before.

Geografija Baltimora

Baltimore is located in north-central Maryland along the Patapsco River, close to its junction with the Chesapeake Bay. The city is strategically situated on the fall line separating the Piedmont Plateau from the Atlantic coastal plain, establishing a natural demarcation between the “lower city” and the “upper city.” With elevations ranging from sea level at the harbor to 480 feet in the northwest corner near Pimlico, this geographical element adds to the varied scene of the city.

Sa ukupnom površinom od 92,1 kvadratnih milja, Baltimor se sastoji od 11,1 kvadratnih milja vode i 80,9 kvadratnih milja kopna, stoga su vodene površine prilično važne u njegovoj topografiji. Kao centralna tačka, obala grada pruža slikovite poglede i aktivnosti u slobodno vreme. Sa okrugom An Arundel koji se graniči sa jugom, grad ostaje politički nezavisan iako ga okrug Baltimor praktično okružuje.

Arhitektonska čuda

Showcasing examples from more than two centuries, Baltimore’s architectural scene is evidence of its rich history and cultural evolution. Renowned builders including Benjamin Latrobe, George A. Frederick, John Russell Pope, Mies van der Rohe, and I. M. Pei call the city home. Designed by Latrobe and finished in 1821, the neoclassical elegance of the Baltimore Basilica marks one of the first Catholic cathedrals in the United States.

For Rembrandt Peale, now the Peale Museum, Robert Cary Long Sr. erected the first significant museum building in the United States in 1813. Built in 1822, the McKim Free School captures the era’s obsession with Greek architecture, motivated by the growing national interest in Athenian relics.

Completed in 1828, the Phoenix Shot Tower remains a rare example of its type and was the tallest building in the United States until the Civil War. Built in 1851, Baltimore’s first iron-front building established a standard for next architectural projects. With its magnificent Tiffany stained glass windows, the Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church is a major architectural and artistic treasure.

Built in 1845, the Lloyd Street Synagogue is among the first synagogues in the nation; the Johns Hopkins Hospital, designed in 1876, was a first in functional and fireproof architecture. Comprising 405 feet, I.M. Pei’s World Trade Center is the highest equilateral pentagonal structure in the world when finished in 1977.

New towers, including a Four Seasons Hotel complex and the Legg Mason headquarters, have lately been added in the Harbor East area, so enhancing the modern skyline of the city. Distinctive rowhouses, a mix of brick and formstone facings, which give Baltimore its unique architectural character, line Baltimore’s grid and spoke pattern of streets.

Highlights Baltimore’s effective mix of historical preservation and modern development include Oriole Park at Camden Yards, a retro-style baseball stadium opened in 1992, and the restored Inner Harbor area with the National Aquarium and other businesses. Designed by Behnisch Architekten and opened in 2013, the new University of Baltimore School of Law building boasts several honors for its creative design.

Recently rebuilt, Baltimore’s Everyman Theatre has also been praised for its preservation efforts, so underlining the city’s will to keep its architectural legacy.

Baltimorske četvrti

Zvanično podeljen na devet odvojenih geografskih oblasti — Sever, Severoistok, Istok, Jugoistok, Jug, Jugozapad, Zapad, Severozapad i Central — Baltimor je grad bogat istorijom i kulturom. Svaka od ovih oblasti pruža drugačiji pogled na raznoliko tkivo koje čini ovaj energični grad. Pažljivim patroliranjem okruga, policijska uprava Baltimora garantuje bezbednost i sigurnost i lokalnog stanovništva i gostiju.

Severni Baltimor: Spoj tradicije i modernosti

Poznat po svojim otmenim kućama i ulicama sa drvoredom, ovaj kraj se može pohvaliti nekim od najbogatijih delova grada. Posetioci mogu da istraže akademsko okruženje Univerziteta DŽons Hopkins ili da uživaju u bogatoj vegetaciji Šervud Gardensa. Područje je zanimljivo za posetu zbog mešavine starog i modernog.

Severoistočni Baltimor: Kulturni mozaik

Severoistočni Baltimor je mešavina zajednica i kultura. Jedinstveno stanovništvo i aktivna kulturna scena ovog područja ga definišu. Bogato nasleđe regiona ističe se na godišnjem Afroameričkom festivalu i drugim aktivnostima u zajednici. Državni univerzitet Morgan, istorijski crnački univerzitet koji je veoma važan za zajednicu, takođe se nalazi u severoistočnom Baltimoru.

Istočni Baltimor: Istorijski značaj i urbana obnova

Istočni Baltimor je istorijski bogato područje koje doživljava značajan urbani preporod. Poznata istorijska mesta u tom području uključuju bolnicu DŽons Hopkins i pagodu Paterson Park. Nove kuće i poslovni objekti nastali su usled napora da se oživi područje i učinili su Istočni Baltimor živim i promenljivim delom grada.

Jugoistočni Baltimor: Šarm obale

Southeast Baltimore’s vibrant neighborhoods and gorgeous waterfront are well-known. The area includes the famous Inner Harbor, a hive of activity featuring the Maryland Science Center and the National Aquarium. With its busy nightlife and cobblestone lanes, Fells Point provides a window into Baltimore’s maritime past. Both residents and visitors of Southeast Baltimore love it for its waterfront appeal.

Južni Baltimor: Industrijsko nasleđe i moderan život

Južni Baltimor je mesto koje majstorski sukobljava moderni način života sa svojom industrijskom prošlošću. „Zastava posuta zvezdama“ je napisana u starom Fort Makhenriju u ovoj oblasti. Južni Baltimor danas ima mešavinu komercijalnih i stambenih projekata, uključujući i dobro poznatu oblast Federal Hil, koja je poznata po svojim energičnim restoranima i mogućnostima za zabavu.

Jugozapadni Baltimor: centar inovacija

Jugozapadni Baltimor obiluje inovacijama i rastom. Univerzitet Merilenda u Baltimoru i BioPark, centar za istraživanje i razvoj biotehnologije, nazivaju ovo područje svojim domom. Jedna od prvih javnih pijaca u gradu, pijaca Holins, pruža ukus regionalnih ukusa i osećaj zajedništva. Jugozapadni Baltimor je okrenut budućnosti zbog svog naglaska na obrazovanju i kreativnosti.

Zapadni Baltimor: Zajednica sa dubokim korenima

Duboko u istorijskim i kulturnim korenima leži Zapadni Baltimor. Snažan osećaj zajedništva i bogato afroameričko nasleđe definišu ovo područje. Slaveći afroameričke muzičare i umetnike, znamenitosti uključujući i okrug za crnačku umetnost i zabavu na Pensilvanija aveniji, Zapadni Baltimor je jaka i aktivna zajednica čak i sa poteškoćama.

Severozapadni Baltimor: Spokoj u predgrađu

Severozapadni Baltimor pruža utisak prigradskog područja unutar gradskih granica. Područje se odlikuje mirnim naseljima i zelenim površinama, uključujući i arboretum Silburn. Sa sinagogama, školama i kulturnim objektima koji doprinose posebnosti severozapadnog Baltimora, grad se takođe može pohvaliti značajnom jevrejskom populacijom.

Centralni Baltimor: Srce grada

Sastojeći se od centra grada i unutrašnje luke, centar Baltimora je srce grada. Poslovanje, kultura i putovanja su usredsređeni u ovoj oblasti. Posetioci mogu uživati u umetnosti u pozorištu Hipodrom, posetiti staru pijacu Leksington, pogledati utakmicu u parku Oriol u Kamden Jardsu. Energični centar Baltimora je Centralni Baltimor zbog svoje raznolikosti.

Snalaženje u Baltimorovim linijama razdvajanja

Key separating lines define Baltimore’s geographic areas. The east-west dividing line is Interstate 83 and Charles Street down to Hanover Street and Ritchie Highway; Eastern Avenue to Route 40 marks the north-south split. Baltimore Street is regarded as the north-south dividing line, though, for the U.S. Postal Service. These limits guide both locals and tourists and help to arrange the city’s architecture.

Klima u Baltimoru

Baltimor se može pohvaliti vlažnom suptropskom klimom koju karakterišu vruća leta, hladne zime i vrhunac padavina tokom leta. Baltimor spada u zone otpornosti biljaka USDA 7b i 8a sa ovom klimatskom klasifikacijom, Cfa u Kepenovom sistemu, što ukazuje na prilično blagu temperaturu pogodnu za niz biljnih vrsta.

Leto: Toplo i vlažno

Baltimore has usually warm summers; July is the hottest month. July’s average temperature is about 80.3°F (26.8°C), and late afternoon thunderstorms sometimes result from the mix of heat and humidity. These storms help to produce the summer peak in annual precipitation by bringing brief but heavy rainfall. The city’s proximity to the Chesapeake Bay affects its temperature as well; a southeasterly bay breeze usually offers some relief from the heat.

Zima: Hladna do blaga sa povremenim snežnim padavinama

Baltimore’s winters range from mild to cold; January is the coldest month. Though during Arctic air events temperatures can reach 50°F (10°C) or drop below 20°F (-7°C), the average daily temperature in January is 35.8°F (2.1°C). Snowfall is erratic; the seasonal total is 19 inches (48 cm). But this can vary greatly from year to year; some winters see just trace levels of snow while others see many major snowstorms.

Proleće i jesen: Blago i prijatno

U Baltimoru su proleće i jesen obično blagi i prijatni. Što se tiče broja dana sa padavinama, proleće je najvlažnije godišnje doba; jesen je poznata po svom vedrom, svežem vremenu. Ova prelazna godišnja doba su savršeno vreme za posetu spoljašnjim znamenitostima grada, jer pružaju odmor od ekstrema leta i zime.

Klimatske promene i njihovi uticaji

Baltimore is feeling the effects of climate change, much as many other areas are. Faster than summers, winters are warming, which alters seasonal weather patterns. The city also runs danger for more flooding, especially in lower-income areas already sensitive because of aging infrastructure. Extreme storms including hurricanes and nor’easters can aggravate these problems and cause major disturbance and damage.

Ekstremne temperature i vremenski događaji

Baltimor je zabeležio raspon temperatura od rekordno niskih -22°C do rekordno visokih 42°C. Tri dana godišnje u proseku imaju temperature od 38°C ili više; četrdeset tri dana imaju temperature od 32°C. Takođe postoji devet dana u godini kada najviša temperatura ne dostigne tačku smrzavanja. Ovi ekstremi ističu promenljivost klime Baltimora i izazove koje ona predstavlja za stanovnike i posetioce.

Demografija Baltimora

Nekada prosperitetan grad, Baltimor je dostigao vrhunac od 949.508 stanovnika prema popisu stanovništva SAD iz 1950. godine. Ali od tada, grad beleži konstantan pad broja stanovnika; popis iz 2020. godine beleži 585.708 građana. Ovo je značajan pad, pa je Baltimor glavni američki grad koji je doživeo najveći gubitak stanovništva u toj deceniji.

Hoping to draw in and keep people, then- Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake sought to buck this trend by improving city services and passing laws safeguarding immigrant rights in 2011. Baltimore’s designation as a sanctuary city emphasizes its dedication to give immigrants a safe refuge. Declaring that the city would not assist ICE agents during immigration operations, then- Mayor Jack Young reiterated this position in 2019.

DŽentrifikacija i demografske promene

DŽentrifikacija je posebno primetna na mestima uključujući istočni Baltimor, centar grada i centralni Baltimor od popisa iz 2000. godine. Oko 14,8% popisnih područja zabeležilo je porast vrednosti kuća koji je premašio gradski prosek, zajedno sa rastom prihoda. Posebno u pretežno belim područjima, ova džentrifikacija ponekad podrazumeva demografsku promenu od domaćinstava sa nižim ka domaćinstvima sa višim prihodima. Većina ljudi može jasno da vidi ove promene oko kampusa DŽons Hopkins Houmvud, centra grada i Unutrašnjeg luka. Dok je i nehispansko belo i nehispansko crno stanovništvo opalo, hispansko stanovništvo je poraslo u nekim naseljima istočnog Baltimora.

Istorijske prekretnice u razvoju stanovništva

Following New York City, Baltimore is the second city in U.S. history to reach a population of 100,000, hence Baltimore is rather important. Baltimore ranked second most populous city in the nation between 1820 and 1850. But finally Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. Louis, and Chicago topped it. Baltimore stayed among the top ten most populous American cities even with these developments until the 1980 census. Before starting its fall following the 1950 census, the city’s population approached one million following World War II.

Verska i jezička raznolikost

Quarter of Baltimore’s adult population claimed no religious affiliation in 2015. The most common faith is Protestantism; half of adults say they are Protestants. Following are Catholicism, which makes up 15% of the population; Judaism and Islam account for 3% and 2% respectively. About 1% of the population consists in other Christian denominations.

Što se tiče jezika, popis iz 2010. godine je pokazao da je samo 91% građana Baltimora uzrasta od pet godina i više govorilo samo engleski kod kuće. Dok je druge jezike, uključujući afričke jezike, francuski i kineski, govorilo manje od 1%, španski je govorilo skoro 4% stanovništva.

Ekonomija Baltimora

Over the past century Baltimore’s economic scene has changed dramatically. Originally mostly an industrial town, the city’s economy was mostly dependent on transportation, steel processing, shipping, and auto manufacture. Central to this industrial base were the busy port and the General Motors Baltimore Assembly facility. Deindustrialization, however, brought about in the city the loss of tens of thousands of low-skill, high-paying employment. This change signaled a turning point as Baltimore moved to a service-based economy, today accounting for 31% of the employment in the city.

Istorijski centar proizvodnje

Baltimor je bio vodeći američki proizvođač slamnatih šešira i raženog viskija na prelazu iz 19. u 20. vek. Grad je takođe bio veoma važan u rafinisanju sirove nafte, koju je Pensilvanija crpila naftom. Ovi sektori su učvrstili Baltimor kao glavni proizvodni centar i pomogli u objašnjenju njegovog ekonomskog rasta.

Ekonomski izazovi i nezaposlenost

The economic changes have not been without difficulties. The unemployment rate of Baltimore in March 2018 was 5.8%. Employment and the local economy suffered even more when the big steel plant at Sparrows Point closed in 2012. With one quarter of Baltimore’s population and 37% of children living in poverty as of 2012, poverty still is a major problem. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the city draws a sizable workforce: 207,000 people daily commute into Baltimore as of 2013.

Centar Baltimora: Ekonomski otkucaj srca

Comprising 29.1 million square feet of office space, Downtown Baltimore is the main economic asset of the city. With the Baltimore metro area ranked eighth in the CBRE Tech Talent Report among 50 U.S. metro areas for high growth rate and number of tech professionals, the tech sector is fast expanding. Forbes named Baltimore among America’s “new tech hot spots in 2013,” so stressing the city’s technological potential.

Glavni poslodavci i kulturne ikone

Među velikim preduzećima kojima se Baltimor može pohvaliti su bolnica DŽons Hopkins, Under Armour, BRT Laboratories, Cordish Company, Legg Mason, McCormick & Company, T. Rowe Price i Royal Farms. Kulturni simbol koji odražava industrijsko nasleđe grada, šećerana American Sugar Refining, dodatno pomaže lokalnoj ekonomiji i zajednici neprofitne organizacije poput Catholic Relief Services i Lutheran Services in America.

STEM poslovi i obrazovni uticaj

STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—fields account for almost 25% of the jobs in the Baltimore area. This is in part because of the city’s large system of graduate and undergraduate universities, which generates a consistent supply of qualified professionals. Included in this count are maintenance and repair professionals, who reflect the wide spectrum of STEM-related job possibilities.

Luka Baltimor: kapija ka globalnoj trgovini

Comprising the Maryland Port Administration and U.S. headquarters for significant shipping lines, the Port of Baltimore is a vital center of international trade. Among all U.S. ports, the port ranks 13th in cargo tonnage and ninth in total dollar value of cargo. With 29.5 million tons of cargo handled in 2014, the port supported over 14,000 direct jobs and 108,000 employment linked to port operations in addition to generating $3 billion in annual wages. With over 500 jobs supported and almost $90 million yearly brought in, the port’s cruise business also makes a major impact on the local economy.

Turizam u Baltimoru

Baltimore’s rich past and varied attractions have helped to establish it as a top travel destination. The city’s appeal was highlighted in 2014 when it welcomed 24.5 million visitors who together spent $5.2 billion. Run by Visit Baltimore, the Baltimore Visitor Center on Light Street in the Inner Harbor acts as a gate for visitors ready to explore the city’s attractions.

Unutrašnja luka: Nautička zemlja čuda

Baltimore’s tourism revolves around the Inner Harbor, which houses Maryland’s most visited attraction, the National Aquarium. Restoring the harbor has turned it into a lively “city of boats,” exhibiting several old ships and sites. Among these is the last Civil War-era ship afloat, the USS Constellation, which anchored conspicuously at the head of the harbor. Visitors can also tour the Coast Guard cutter WHEC-37, the last surviving U.S. warship still at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941, and the submarine USS Torsk, with a record of more than 10,000 dives.

Here also are docked the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, the oldest still-standing screw-pile lighthouse on Chesapeake Bay, and the lightship Chesapeake, which formerly marked the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. Presented by the Baltimore organization Historic Ships, these attractions provide an intriguing window into marine history. Serving as Maryland’s “goodwill ambassador,” the Pride of Baltimore II is a reconstruction of a legendary Baltimore Clipper ship housed at the Inner Harbor.

Sportski objekti i kulturne znamenitosti

Baltimore’s appeal goes beyond the Inner Harbor; many athletic facilities and cultural sites draw tourists. Sporting fans frequent Oriole Park at Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium, and Pimlico Race Course. History buffs can tour Mount Vernon, Federal Hill, and Fells Point and visit Fort McHenry, the site of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Pijace, muzeji i još mnogo toga

One of the first public markets in the country, Lexington Market lets one taste Baltimore’s gastronomic legacy. Additionally located in the city is the Horseshoe Casino, which offers gaming choices and entertainment. Baltimore’s museums provide varied cultural and educational opportunities including the Walters Art Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Industry, the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum, the Maryland Science Center, and the B&O Railroad Museum.

Kultura Baltimora

Often referred to as a “city of neighborhoods,” Baltimore boasts a rich tapestry of 72 officially recognized historic districts, each usually occupied by different ethnic groupings. Three famous downtown districts along the port—the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, and Little Italy—showcase this variety most clearly.

Unutrašnja luka: srce turizma

Privlačeći posetioce nizom hotela, prodavnica i muzeja, Unutrašnja luka je vrelo aktivnosti. Nacionalni akvarijum, glavna turistička destinacija u Merilendu, nalazi se u ovom obnovljenom priobalnom području zajedno sa nekoliko istorijskih brodova, uključujući USS Konstelejšn i USS Torsk. Preuređenje Unutrašnje luke učinilo ju je pravim mestom za stanovnike i turiste.

Fels Point: Od mornaraskog utočišta do džentrificiranog dragulja

Originally a favorite entertainment venue for sailors, Fells Point has experienced major gentrification. Originally shown in the film “Sleepless in Seattle, this old neighborhood now boasts lively bars, hip boutiques, and lovely cobblestone lanes. Its maritime past is still evident, hence it is a special fusion of old and modern.

Mala Italija: Ukus tradicije

Little Italy, tucked between Inner Harbor and Fells Point, is the center of Baltimore’s Italian-American population. Renowned for its real Italian cuisine and cultural events, this energetic area Additionally adding some historical relevance is U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s childhood residence.

Maunt Vernon: Kulturni epicentar

Mount Vernon is the classic hub of Baltimore’s artistic and cultural life further inland. Dominating the area is the unique Washington Monument, which several decades ago preceded its more well-known counterpart in Washington, D.C. For those interested in art and history, this 19th-century urban square is a must-see surrounded by old buildings and cultural institutions.

Lonac imigranata

Baltimor, druga najveća luka imigracije u Sjedinjene Države posle ostrva Elis, može se pohvaliti značajnom nemačko-američkom populacijom. Skoro dva miliona imigranata iz mnogih evropskih zemalja stiglo je u Baltimor između 1820. i 1989. godine, doprinoseći bogatoj kulturnoj tapiseriji grada. Iako je imigracija usporena nakon Prvog svetskog rata, naselja grada i dalje jasno pokazuju nasleđe ovih mnogih grupa.

Istorija pivarstva i kultna pića

With more than 100 breweries running in Baltimore between the 1800s and the 1950s, beer making flourished in the city. Remnants of this golden age abound in Brewer’s Hill’s American Brewery Building and National Brewing Company building. With its well-known brands, National Bohemian Beer (“Natty Boh) and Colt 45 still loved today, the National Brewing Company debuted the first six-pack in the country in the 1940s. A popular emblem seen on goods all around Maryland is the Natty Boh logo.

Festivali i lokacije snimanja

Baltimore hosts a number of noteworthy events, including yearly Artscape, the biggest free arts festival in America housed in the Bolton Hill area. Every May, the Maryland Film Festival hosts events using the venerable Charles Theatre as its main venue. Among the films and TV shows the city has also been a filming site for “Homicide: Life on the Street,” “The Wire,” “House of Cards,” and “Veep.”

Kulturni muzeji i umetnička blaga

Maryland’s cultural scene gains richness from its museums. Renowned worldwide for their collections, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum house the most Henri Matisse creations worldwide. Further underscoring the city’s dedication to honoring and celebrating many artistic expressions are the American Visionary Art Museum, assigned by Congress as America’s national museum for visionary art, and the first African American wax museum in the nation, the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum.

Umetnička scena u Baltimoru

Baltimor se može pohvaliti četirima državnim umetničkim i zabavnim okrugima – Pensilvanija avenija, Severna umetnička i zabavna četvrt, Hajlendtaun i Bromo – koje predstavljaju njenu aktivnu umetničku scenu. Odražavajući bogato umetničko nasleđe grada, svaki okrug predstavlja drugačiju kombinaciju kulturnih susreta, od vizuelnih umetnosti do događaja uživo.

Kancelarija za promociju i umetnost Baltimora

The cultural scene of the city is much enhanced by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and The Arts (BOPA). Managing several important facilities, BOPA, the official Baltimore City Arts Council, generates a range of events and arts projects. Major city events including New Year’s Eve and July 4 celebrations at the Inner Harbor, Artscape (America’s largest free arts festival), the Baltimore Book Festival, Baltimore Farmers’ Market & Bazaar, School 33 Art Center’s Open Studio Tour, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade are coordinated here.

Muzika i scenske umetnosti

Founded in 1916, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is a well-known group around the globe. Under the direction of Leonard Bernstein protégé Marin Alsop, the orchestra has kept on shining. Baltimore’s performing arts scene revolves mostly on the Lyric Opera House, home of Lyric Opera Baltimore, and the city’s top theater company, Centerstage. Established in 1966, the Shriver Hall Concert Series offers classical chamber music and recitals including internationally known performers.

Leading early music group Baltimore Consort has enthralled listeners for more than twenty-25 years. Home to the rebuilt Hippodrome Theatre, the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center has positioned Baltimore as a major participant in touring Broadway and other performing arts presentations. The city’s cultural venues have been rejuvenated by its dedication to remodeling historic theaters including the Everyman, Center, Senator, and Parkway Theatre. Another instance of creative reuse in the arts is the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company Theater, which resides in the former Mercantile Deposit and Trust Company bank building.

Pozorišne i društvene grupe

Baltimor je dom velikog broja lokalnih i profesionalnih pozorišnih grupa. Pored Centerstage-a, stalne trupe uključuju Baltimore Theatre Festival, Everyman Theatre, Single Carrot Theatre, The Vagabond Players — najstariju kontinuirano aktivnu lokalnu pozorišnu grupu u zemlji. Dinamičnu pozorišnu scenu grada obogaćuju lokalna pozorišta kao što su Fells Point Community Theatre i Arena Players Inc., najstarije kontinuirano afroameričko lokalno pozorište u zemlji. Od 2009. godine, Baltimore Rock Opera Society, koje se sastoji isključivo od volontera, postavlja kreativne prezentacije na scenu.

Horska i kamerna muzika

The Maryland State Boychoir, housed in the northeastern area of Mayfield, and the Pride of Baltimore Chorus, a three-time international silver medalist women’s chorus connected with Sweet Adelines International, call Baltimore. Additionally housed in the city is Vivre Musicale, a non-profit chamber music group noted for its adventurous agenda.

Obrazovne institucije i festivali

One of the most esteemed conservatories of music in the world, the Peabody Institute is housed in the Mount Vernon area. Another prestigious institution with great reputation for choral music is Morgan State University Choir. Mount Vernon’s public high school, the Baltimore School for the Arts, is well-known nationally for its success in getting students ready for professions in music, theater, dance, and visual arts.

Sport u Baltimoru

Especially in baseball and football, Baltimore’s rich sports legacy is closely entwined with its identity. Legendary teams and players have called the city home, thus it is a major gathering place for sports fans.

Bejzbol: Rodno mesto legendi

Bejzbol istorija Baltimora počinje u 19. veku sa prvim Baltimor Oriolsima, među najuspešnijim ranim klubovima. Aktivan između 1882. i 1899. godine, ovaj tim je iznedrio nekoliko članova Kuće slavnih. Igrajući u Američkoj ligi tokom sezona 1901. i 1902. godine, Oriolsi, jedan od osam originalnih timova Američke lige, preselili su se u NJujork i postali NJujork Hajlendersi, kasnije poznati kao NJujork Jenkiji.

Rođen 1895. godine, Bejb Rut je takođe bio poreklom iz grada. Rut je bio član niželigaškog tima Baltimor Oriols, aktivan od 1903. do 1914. godine. Nakon kratkog boravka kao Ričmond Klajmbersi 1915. godine, tim se vratio u Baltimor i igrao kao Oriols do 1953. godine.

Since 1954, when the St. Louis Browns relocated to Baltimore, the Baltimore Orioles of today have represented Major League Baseball locally. Rising to the World Series six times between 1966 and 1983 and claiming three championships, the Orioles have a legendary past. Sports Illustrated named local hero Cal Ripken Jr. Sportsman of the Year after he famously broke Lou Gehrig’s consecutive game played streak in 1995. Celebrated as among the best ballparks in the league, Oriole Park at Camden Yards is their home since 1992.

Fudbal: Od Koltsa do Rejvensa

Starting with the late 1940s Baltimore Colts of the All-America Football Conference, Baltimore’s football legacy is equally rich. The Colts entered the NFL for one season following the AAFC’s folding before declaring bankruptcy. The NFL’s Dallas Texans folded in 1953, and Baltimore ownership bought their assets, so restoring the Colts. Under Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas, the Colts emerged among the most successful NFL teams in the 1950s and 1960s, having two NFL Championships and one Super Bowl.

But the Colts moved controversially to Indianapolis in 1984. The Cleveland Browns moved to become the Baltimore Ravens in 1996, so restoring Baltimore’s NFL presence. Since then, the Ravens have confirmed their place in the sports scene by winning two Super Bowl trophies and many division titles.

Sredinom 1990-ih, Baltimor je takođe privremeno bio domaćin Baltimor Stalsionsima, timu Kanadske fudbalske lige. Uspešno su osvojili Grej kup 1995. godine, a zatim su se preselili u Montreal.

Ostali timovi i događaji

Konjske trke: DŽokej klub Merilend i Priknes Stejks

Od 2023. godine, Baltimor Siti FK, tim iz Istočne Premijer fudbalske lige, igra u fitnes centru Midl Branč u Čeri Hilu.

Ragbi i drugi sportovi

Počevši od učešća u Američkoj ragbi ligi 2012. godine, poluprofesionalni ragbi tim Baltimor Bluz. Počevši svoju prvu sezonu 2012. godine, američki fudbalski tim Baltimor Bohemians ušao je u Premijer razvojnu ligu SAD.

Velika nagrada Baltimora

Uz prateće događaje manjih serija poput Indi Lajtsa, Velika nagrada Baltimora 2011–2013. uključivala je Američku seriju Le Man i IndiKar seriju. Događaj je odložen nakon 2013. zbog sukoba u rasporedu, uprkos početnom uspehu.

Ander Armor i Baltimorski maraton

Velika firma za sportsku opremu Under Armour ima sedište u Baltimoru. Kevin Plank je osnovao kompaniju 1996. godine; njeno sedište je u Tajd Pointu, blizu fabrike šećera Domino i tvrđave Makhenri.

Beginning at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Marathon—the city’s flagship event—weaves through several districts including the Inner Harbor, Federal Hill, Fells Point, and Canton.The 42.195 kilometers (26.219 miles) race finishes close to its beginning point.

Arena fudbal: Baltimorska brigada

Od 2017. do 2019. godine, Baltimorska brigada, tim Arena fudbalske lige, nastupao je u Rojal Farms areni. Zajedno sa ostatkom lige, tim je prestao sa aktivnostima 2019. godine.

Dolazak u Baltimor

Dolazak u Baltimor avionom

Oko 16 kilometara od centra Baltimora, Međunarodni aerodrom Baltimor-Vašington Tergud Maršal (BWI) je glavna ulazna tačka u grad. Ovaj aerodrom pruža praktičnu tačku pristupa za posetioce iz celog sveta, jer ugošćuje niz međunarodnih ruta pored mnogih domaćih letova iz velikih američkih gradova.

Oni koji žele da iznajme automobil, pronaći će sve objekte za iznajmljivanje koji su zgodno raspoređeni po dolasku, iako su na kratkoj udaljenosti od samog aerodroma. Putnici mogu koristiti besplatan aerodromski šatl autobus koji saobraća između terminala i centra za iznajmljivanje automobila da bi pristupili ovim objektima. Kada planirate putovanje, trebalo bi da izdvojite dodatnih deset do petnaest minuta za ovaj prevoz.

Postoje dve glavne opcije za one koji bi radije koristili javni prevoz da bi stigli do centra grada. Polazeći od besplatnog šatla, može se stići do stanice BWI Amtrak/MARC. Odatle, putnici mogu da biraju između prigradskog voza MARC, koji košta 6 dolara u jednom pravcu, ili voza Amtrak sa cenama karata od 7 do 35 dolara u jednom pravcu. Obe opcije će vas stići do stanice Pen za oko petnaest minuta.

On the other hand, one of Baltimore’s most visited locations, Inner Harbor, is directly reachable from the airport terminal by light rail. This trip costs $2.00 and takes roughly thirty minutes, so offering a cheap and quick way to get to the city.

Dolazak u Baltimor automobilom

Do Baltimora se može doći iz mnogih pravaca zahvaljujući sistemu međudržavnih autoputeva. Međudržavni put 70 povezuje grad sa Pitsburgom i destinacijama na zapadu; Međudržavni put 83 pomaže posetiocima iz Harisburga i usmerava se ka severu. Glavna arterija Međudržavni put 95, koja se proteže od Mejna do Floride duž istočne obale, prolazi kroz Baltimor i povezuje ga sa nekoliko velikih priobalnih gradova.

Za one koji dolaze sa juga, odvojak međudržavnog puta I-395 sa međudržavnog puta I-95 nudi slikovit pristup luci. Ukoliko se približavate sa severa međudržavnim putem I-95, budite spremni na putarinu od 4 dolara koja se plaća ispod luke preko tunela Fort Makhenri pre nego što se uključite na međudržavni put I-395. Napuštanjem međudržavnog puta I-95 na Istočnoj aveniji (izlaz 59), možete izbeći putarinu i uživati u impresivnijem iskustvu. Ova staza vodi do luke Harbor Ist iz energičnih i raznovrsnih naselja jugoistočnog Baltimora.

Još jedan važan put je Međudržavni put 97, koji se povezuje sa američkim autoputevima 50 i 301 na jugu i omogućava ulazak u Vašington. Za one koji žele da vide oba grada tokom putovanja, ovo je zgodan izbor.

With rates averaging about $5 per hour, parking in Baltimore’s inner city—especially around the harbor—can be rather costly. Using public transit to get to the city center and parking for free at one of the suburban Light Rail or Metro stations will help you save money and lessen stress. This method not only saves money but also lets you avoid the trouble of negotiating and parking in the congested downtown.

Imajte na umu da tokom radnih dana autoputevi između Baltimora i Vašingtona (I-95 i MD-295, Baltimor-Vašington Parkvej) mogu biti prilično gužve. Iako su dva grada prilično udaljena - 64 kilometra - vreme putovanja može trajati dva sata tokom špica, obično od 6:00 do 9:30 i od 15:30 do 18:30. Često nudeći efikasniju i bezstresniju zamenu za putovanje između Baltimora i Vašingtona, prigradski voz MARC pomaže u izbegavanju ovih kašnjenja.

Dolazak u Baltimor autobusom

Za one iz okolnih gradova poput NJujorka ili Filadelfije, posebno putovanje autobusom do Baltimora je pristupačan izbor. Putnici sa ograničenim budžetom mogu lako stići do grada nekoliko autobuskih linija, koje takođe nude rute sa razumnim cenama.

Two main carriers that link Baltimore with several towns all around North America are Greyhound and FlixBus. Their station is conveniently close to the Inner Harbor, a few blocks south of the stadium area, so it’s simple to get from your bus ride to seeing the highlights of the city.

With arrivals and departures set at the White Marsh Park & Ride lot in Baltimore’s northern suburbs, Megabus provides still another dependable choice. This site lies close to the junction of Honeygo Boulevard and White Marsh Boulevard. MTA buses run between the White Marsh Park & Ride and the city center for those needing to get downtown Baltimore. The West lot has limited parking, thus vehicles must show a sheet of paper including the word “megabus” on the dashboard to prevent any problems.

Za one iz Velike Jabuke, OurBus takođe pokreće linije do i iz NJujorka, pružajući još jednu praktičnu opciju. GoToBus takođe nudi način da se pronađe nekoliko drugih autobuskih linija između NJujorka i Baltimora, tako da se garantuje da imate dovoljno izbora u zavisnosti od vašeg budžeta i rasporeda.

Dolazak u Baltimor vozom

Baltimor je pogodno lociran za one koji dolaze vozom zahvaljujući velikoj mreži međugradskih vozova. Dve poznate stanice u gradu opslužuju međugradske vozove, što garantuje jednostavan pristup mnogim delovima grada i šire.

Međugradski vozovi u Baltimoru uglavnom polaze sa stanice Pen, na adresi Nort Čarls Strit 1500. Stanica Pen, koja se nalazi otprilike dve milje severno od Unutrašnje luke, zgodno je locirana ako se lakom železnicom i prugom Charm City Circulator dovezu do centra grada i luke. Zbog toga je praktična baza za istraživanje glavnih znamenitosti grada.

Oko 3,65 kilometara severozapadno od aerodromskog terminala, na adresi Amtrak Vej 7, nalazi se stanica BWI Maršal Aerodrom, još jedna važna stanica. Besplatni šatl autobusi, koji saobraćaju između stanice i aerodroma na svakih 6 do 8 minuta tokom dana i na svakih 25 minuta noću, pružaju besprekornu povezanost putnicima u avionskom saobraćaju.

Sa redovnim, brzim i prijatnim uslugama širom Sjedinjenih Država, Amtrak je glavni operater međugradskih vozova u Baltimoru. Iako voz može koštati više od autobusa za one koji idu iz NJujorka, Bostona ili Filadelfije, pruža bolju udobnost i brzinu. Iako je ovo drugo manje praktično za posetioce, Amtrak vozovi koji idu ka Baltimoru staju na stanici Pen; neki se takođe zaustavljaju na stanici aerodroma BWI.

Baltimor je pokriven na nekoliko Amtrak ruta, uključujući:

• ToOva brza linija saobraća više puta dnevno između Bostona i Vašingtona, sa zaustavljanjima u većim gradovima kao što su NJujork, Filadelfija i Baltimor.
• KardinalOva ruta, koja saobraća tri puta nedeljno između Čikaga i NJujorka, uključuje zaustavljanja u gradovima poput Indijanapolisa, Sinsinatija i Vašingtona.
• KarolinskiPovezujući Šarlot i NJujork preko Vašingtona, ova ruta pruža živopisno putovanje kroz istočni deo Sjedinjenih Država.
• PolumesecOva ruta saobraća između NJu Orleansa i NJujorka, a prolazi kroz Atlantu i Vašington.
• PalmetoOva ruta povezuje Savanu i NJujork, nudeći pogodnu opciju za putnike iz jugoistočnog dela SAD.
• Severoistočni regionalniNajprometnija regionalna linija kompanije Amtrak povezuje Boston, NJujork, Filadelfiju, Baltimor i Vašington, sa višestrukim dnevnim polascima i nekim linijama koje se protežu do Virdžinije.
• Srebrni meteor i srebrna zvezdaOve rute povezuju Majami i NJujork, prolazeći kroz Savanu.
• VermonterOva ruta saobraća svakodnevno između Sent Olbansa i Vašingtona, a uključuje zaustavljanja u gradovima kao što su Hartford, NJu Hejven i Filadelfija.

Za one koji putuju između Baltimora i Vašingtona, prigradski vozovi MARC predstavljaju razumnu i brzu zamenu za Amtrak. Generalno govoreći, vozovi MARC su brži i jeftiniji, sa cenom od 9 dolara u oba smera nego vožnja automobilom. Pen stanicu opslužuje Pen linija, koja saobraća redovno radnim danima, a vikendom manje. Opslužujući stanicu Kamden Jards blizu stadiona Oriols i luke, Kamden linija saobraća samo u špicu ujutru i uveče. Obe linije polaze sa Junion stanice u Vašingtonu.

Kretanje po Baltimoru

javnim prevozom

Although not especially impressive, Baltimore’s public transit system provides a variety of choices for getting around the city. Riding the light rail, bus, or subway pays $2.00 each way; a day pass for $4.60 entitrates unlimited rides on all three forms of transportation. Any bus operator or vending machine at subway and light rail stations will sell these passes.

Iako možda nije toliko praktičan za kretanje po samom Baltimoru, sistem lake železnice je posebno koristan za one koji dolaze u grad. Mnogi gosti se odlučuju da besplatno parkiraju van grada i voze se lakom železnicom unutra. Od Kamden Jardsa, pored Leksington Marketa, pa sve do umetničkog okruga Stejšn Nort, ide najpraktičniji deo lake železnice.

From Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore’s subway runs one line across downtown and toward the northwest suburbs of Pikesville and Owings Mills. This subway line less benefits tourists since it mostly serves commuters and passes few tourist attractions.

Posebno za područja van luke, autobusi MTA su dobar izbor za one koji žele da vide Baltimor uz ograničen budžet. Iako ovoj vrsti prevoza možda nedostaju neke pogodnosti, MTA nudi interaktivne mape regionalnih autobuskih linija i centra grada kako bi pomogao u planiranju putovanja. Kao i sav javni prevoz u Baltimoru, autobusi su bezbedni i dobro patrolirani.

Jedna neobična i besplatna zamena za druge opcije javnog prevoza je usluga „Charm City Circulator“. Ova gradska usluga, koja saobraća na nekoliko ruta i finansira se od taksi za parkiranje:

• Narandžasta ruta se proteže u pravcu istok-zapad između Harbor Ist i Holins Market.
• LJubičasta ruta se proteže u pravcu sever-jug između Pen Stejšna i Federal Hila.
• Zelena ruta prvenstveno opslužuje istočni deo centra grada, uključujući Pover Plant Lajv, Fels Point i medicinski kompleks DŽons Hopkins.
• Baner ruta povezuje Unutrašnju luku sa tvrđavom Makhenri.

Iako su manje dostupni drugim javnim prevozom, ovi manji, tiši i moderniji autobusi nude zabavno i pristupačno sredstvo za istraživanje područja, uključujući Fels Point, Federal Hil i Maunt Vernon. Staze cirkulatorske linije su napravljene tako da se poklapaju sa važnim stanicama lake železnice i metroa, uključujući Baltimor ulicu, Nort Hauard ulicu, Čarls centar i Kongresni centar, što olakšava prelazak između nekoliko oblika prevoza.

automobilom

Iako posedovanje automobila nije neophodno za istraživanje Baltimora, posedovanje jednog će biti veoma korisno, posebno ako nameravate da posetite neke od izolovanijih delova grada koji nisu dobro povezani javnim prevozom.

Because of freeway revolts in the 1970s that stopped the building of a proposed east-west freeway, Baltimore’s freeway system is rather lacking and would have affected areas like old Fells Point. I-83, sometimes known as the Jones Falls Expressway, and I-395 both stop downtown without interacting. Particularly on game days and during rush hour, this can cause notable traffic congestion in the downtown area. The mix of car and pedestrian traffic around the harbor causes Pratt and Lombard streets to be often slow-moving. Though your destination is south of Route 40, driving a few blocks north and using U.S. Route 40 can be more effective for faster east-West travel across downtown.

With many neighborhoods, particularly downtown and on the East Side, Baltimore’s central section follows a grid street pattern with alternating one-way streets. Centered on radial roads connecting into and out of the central core, the street design in the outer areas gets more suburban. Whereas Baltimore Street divides “North” from “South,” Charles Street marks the line separating “East” from “West.” streets devoid of a directional label that cross neither Baltimore Street or Charles Street Most Baltimore street signs have the block number, which helps one navigate.

Though rates usually rise the closer you get to the Inner Harbor, finding paid parking garages and lots near major attractions in the city center is rather simple.

taksijem

Baltimore provides several dependable taxi companies for those without a car. Starting at $1.80, taxi fares include an extra charge of 20¢ for every 1/11 mile, or for every 30 seconds of waiting time. This results in $2.20 per mile. In downtown areas, Fells Point, and Mount Vernon, hailing a cab is rather simple. Still, it’s advisable to call for a taxi in other areas of the city.

vodenim taksijem

Korišćenje sistema vodenih taksija je jedan od najjedinstvenijih i najzabavnijih načina kretanja po Baltimoru. Iako se obično ne koristi za svakodnevna putovanja, vodeni taksi nudi opušten i slikovit pristup za razgledanje glavnih atrakcija grada. Vodeni taksiji saobraćaju od maja do septembra i zaustavljaju se otprilike 15 do 20 minuta u Unutrašnjoj luci, Fels Pointu, Fort Makhenriju i Kantonu. Pristupačne dnevne karte od 20 dolara za odrasle i 11 dolara za decu mlađu od 12 godina pružaju način za istraživanje grada sa mora.

biciklom

One fun approach to see Baltimore’s many neighborhoods and picturesque sites is biking. Notable locations for a leisurely ride include Patterson Park in East Baltimore and the affluent North Baltimore neighborhoods as well as the Gwynns Falls Trail on the West Side and Druid Hill Park. Although the northern sections of the city can offer more difficult hills, the city center is rather level and perfect for casual riding.

Baltimor progresivno unapređuje svoju infrastrukturu, čak i ako možda još uvek ne može da se poredi sa svojim južnim susedom po pitanju pogodnosti za bicikliste. Iako neki mogu da se pretiču bliže nego što je udobno, vozači generalno idu u susret jer se grade nove biciklističke staze i obeležene staze. Zakon Merilenda zahteva minimalnu udaljenost za preticanje od jednog metra, ali se to ne sprovodi uvek striktno. Da bi pomogle biciklistima širom grada, lokalne prodavnice bicikala nude praktičnu mapu za bicikle, kako onlajn tako i u štampanom obliku.

Iako ne u vozovima MARC-a, biciklisti mogu da unesu svoje bicikle u vozove metroa i lake železnice. Osim Charm City Circulator-a, svi autobusi MTA imaju nosače za bicikle sa prednjim utovarom, što olakšava kombinaciju vožnje sa javnim prevozom.

Many great bike stores serve customers with rentals and services. Less than one mile from the Inner Harbor, Light Street Cycles at 1124 Light Street in Federal Hill Popular choices also are Baltimore Bicycle Works at 1813 Falls Road close to Penn Station and Joe’s Bike Shop at 723 S. Broadway in Fells Point. Daily bike rentals are available both from Baltimore Bicycle Works and Light Street Cycles.

The Baltimore Bike Party is a prime example of Baltimore’s vibrant and distinctive bike scene. The Bike Party is a festive, slow-paced event including costumed riders, decorated bikes, and noisemakers unlike the more confrontational Critical Mass rides observed in other cities. Usually including an afterparty with food and beer, it takes place on the last Friday of every month beginning at 7 PM at the Washington Monument in Mount Vernon.

Bicikliste treba upozoriti na mogućnost krađe bicikala. S obzirom na to da brave sa kablovima pružaju minimalnu zaštitu, jaka i čvrsta brava je apsolutno neophodna. Izveštaji o napadima i krađi bicikala u području između Midtauna i Čarls Vilidža sledeće večeri pojavljivali su se ranije. Iako su ovakve vrste događaja sada ređe, i dalje je preporučljivo držati se dobro osvetljenih, gusto prometnih ulica noću.

Najbolje vreme za posetu Baltimoru

Baltimor, u Merilendu, pruža raznovrstan niz iskustava tokom cele godine, što ga učvršćuje kao višestruku destinaciju za putnike. Optimalno vreme za posetu prvenstveno zavisi od vaših preferencija u pogledu klime, događaja i aktivnosti.

Proleće, od marta do maja, je optimalan period za posetu Baltimoru. Klima je umerena, sa temperaturama koje variraju između gornjih 40-ih i gornjih 70-ih stepeni Farenhajta (10°C do 25°C). Ovo godišnje doba je idealno za aktivnosti na otvorenom, jer grad cveta bujnom florom i lišćem. Značajni događaji tokom ovog perioda uključuju festival blugrasa „Charm City“ i „Prikness Stakes“, poznatu konjsku trku u Sjedinjenim Državama.

Leto, od juna do avgusta, predstavlja vrhunac turističke sezone. Klima može biti sparna i vlažna, sa temperaturama koje često dostižu gornjih 80-ih do donjih 90-ih stepeni Farenhajta (30°C do 33°C). Uprkos vrućini, ovo je živahan period za posetu, sa raznim festivalima i događajima, uključujući HonFest, Baltimorski festival ponosa i Artscape, najveći besplatni umetnički festival u zemlji. Unutrašnja luka je puna aktivnosti, što je čini pogodnim trenutkom za uživanje u atrakcijama na obali i ručavanju na otvorenom.

Jesen (septembar do novembar) predstavlja hladnije temperature, koje variraju od gornjih 40-ih do sredine 60-ih stepeni Farenhajta (10°C do 20°C). Ovo godišnje doba je manje zagušeno nego leto, što ga čini prijatnim periodom za istraživanje grada. Jesenje lišće stvara živopisnu pozadinu za vašu posetu, dok događaji poput Baltimorskog festivala knjiga i Baltimorskog festivala trčanja nude dodatne atrakcije. Cene hotela su generalno snižene tokom ovog perioda, što ga čini ekonomičnijim izborom.

Zima (od decembra do februara) constitutes the off-peak season in Baltimore. The climate can be notably frigid, with temperatures frequently falling below 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-1°C). This period is the most economical for visiting, and renowned attractions experience reduced crowds. Winter events like the Mayor’s Christmas Parade and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade enhance the season’s festivities. Winter can be a delightful season to experience Baltimore’s holiday spirit and indoor attractions, such as museums and theaters, if one is unfazed by the cold.

Ostanite bezbedni u Baltimoru

The HBO show The Wire has helped Baltimore’s reputation as a dangerous city to be more prominent, but this view shouldn’t unnecessarily scare the usual visitor. Most crime in the city occurs among acquaintances or in economically underprivileged areas usually off-traveling paths for visitors. The experiences of visitors hardly coincide with the isolated world of drug and gang-related activities. Still, visitors should know about the possible muggings risk.

Baltimore’s tourist-friendly neighborhoods usually are friendly and safe. Visitors may easily enjoy the opera, tour museums, see the aquarium, and find other attractions. The city government depends on the energetic Inner Harbor area to draw both residents and tourists, so generating significant tax income. Constant police surveillance is thus justified for this area. After dark and occasionally during daylight hours, some areas just north of the waterfront, especially downtown near the Inner Harbor around Lexington Market and the areas surrounding major public housing projects northeast of Little Italy, may feel unsafe.

Parkiranje na ulici u zabavnoj zoni Čarls ulice ili Fels Pointa je najbolje obaviti tako da vaš automobil bude bez vidljivih predmeta, uključujući smeće, kako bi se sprečile razbojničke pljačke. Redovni susreti sa beskućnicima ili onima koji pate od zavisnosti i traže novac izazivaju jednu od glavnih iritacija i za posetioce i za stanovnike centra grada. Mnogi će vas jednostavno pustiti na miru, bez obzira na vašu finansijsku ponudu. Najbolje što možete učiniti kada neko počne da vas prati jeste da ga jednostavno ignorišete i nastavite svojim putem, jer obično u kratkom roku izgube interesovanje. Klonite se svađa i izbegavajte da se javno izjašnjavate.

Prvo i najvažnije, budite svesni svog odredišta i kako ćete tamo stići — kao što biste to učinili u bilo kom velikom američkom gradu. Obavezno hodajte u grupama gde god možete kada sunce zađe i birajte dobro osvetljene ulice radi vaše bezbednosti. Izbegavajte nošenje velikih količina gotovine; ako se osećate neprijatno zbog noćnog povratka, razmislite o tome da pozovete taksi radi bezbednosti.
