Welcome to Baltimore County!
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MARYLAND, Baltimore County is
a vibrant, diverse community that truly offers something for everyone.
Home to historic neighborhoods, 21,000 equine-related acres, over 200
miles of beautiful waterfront along the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay,
and seven family-owned wineries on the Piedmont Trail – Baltimore
County is waiting to be explored!
With so much to see and do, Baltimore County is truly a special place. A
day can begin with shopping in one of our neighborhood downtowns and end with a beautiful
dinner overlooking the waterfront or rolling hills of Hunt Valley. Only a short drive from
Baltimore City’s Inner Harbor, BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, and just an hour’s drive from
Washington, D.C., Baltimore County offers accommodations, activities, shopping, and dining
to fit every taste and budget.
Be sure to visit Baltimore County and feel the hospitality
and sense of community that make it so special. If you
already live here, then enjoy something new! Whether it’s
outdoor recreation, the arts, horse country, local wineries and
breweries, or an historical reenactment – discover Baltimore
County and let the memory-making experiences begin.
