Baltimore's official visitor's site suggests Ed Kane's Water Taxi. Getting Around BaltimoreThe Charm City Circulator is a free service of the city. The shuttles run every 10 minutes from early morning to late night, seven days a week, on three routes: the Green Route which runs from City Hall to Fell's Point to Johns Hopkins, the Purple Route which runs from Penn Station to Federal Hill, and the Orange Route which runs from Hollins Market to Harbor East. Aside from shepherding people to the popular areas of the city, the Circulator connects you to Amtrak, MARC, Light Rail, and the Subway. More details: on the Circulator http://www.charmcitycirculator.com/ and on Metro Transit http://mta.maryland.gov/index.cfm. And, of course, taxis are always an option. Alternative hotelsThere are plenty of hotels available around the Inner Harbor at market rates within walking distance of the conference hotel. The Baltimore Ravens football team is scheduled to host a game on Sunday, October 24 at 1:00 pm. There may an uptick in room demand surrounding this event, but we don't expect you will have a difficult time finding a room as there are many hotels and this will probably only affect Saturday night stays.
