Washington Monument and Museum at Mount Vernon Place
The Washington Monument was America's first heroic and civic monument to George Washington. Visitors may enjoy great views of the city from nearly 230 feet up.
Mount Vernon Cultural District: Mount Vernon Cultural District is a short distance northwest of Inner Harbor. As the name suggests, it is an area with a close association with the arts and culture. The reputation is well deserved, as Walters Art Museum, Maryland Historical Society and the Peabody Institute are among the other centers and institutes one may find here. Besides classic art and culture, this side of town is headquarters to an incredible shopping scene, and one may easily find a fine selection of modern, trendy shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs, together with a truly avant garde, bohemian zest for life.
