| Baltimore Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Baltimore is one of those cities that grabs you and holds you, and doesn't let go easily. It has been home to eccentrics and alternative thinkers for ever, and has some interesting and historic quarters, as well as great museums and other attractions. |

 |
 DAILY BUDGET in BALTIMORE - A backpacker could just feasibly come out on US$50 a day bumming around the USA, with cheap meals anything from US$3 to US$5, and camping or staying in cheap hostels for about US$12 to US$70, but US$100 a day would see more comfort and whole lot better food than your own cooking. |
Baltimore Museum of Art/b> - Free on first Thurs of the month, this museum has awesome collections of art, from Botticelli to Picasso, and devotes an entire gallery to Warhol.
