Many immigrants from Italy arrived at the Port of Baltimore in the 19th and early 20th centuries and settled in Baltimore. Today, the neighborhood called Little Italy is still filled with Italian-Americans. It is known for its quaint atmosphere and culinary scene, and is home to more than 20 Italian restaurants, cafés, and trattorias.

The best months to visit Baltimore Little Italy are spring and fall, when the weather is mildest. Summers are often unbearably humid and sometimes stormy. In the fall, Little Italy hosts the Italian Heritage Festival, where you can indulge in local Italian food and wine, and even sign up for a sausage-eating contest.

Yes, free street parking is available in Baltimore Little Italy. Spaces typically have a 3-hour time limit. If you need longer than that, you’ll find a garage on Pratt Street, where parking is free after 6pm (ideal for diners). There is also an open-air lot on President Street and Eastern Avenue.

That depends. If you’re just having a short stroll through Baltimore Little Italy in between visits to nearby Inner Harbor or Fell’s Point, count on around an hour. But it would be a shame to visit Baltimore Little Italy without factoring in lunch or dinner, or at least an Italian pastry.
