Annapolis is a lovely little waterfront city on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, with cobbled streets, pretty colonial buildings and sailboats bobbing in the harbour. It has plenty of history, but there's a fun, laid-back feel to the place, too, with good restaurants, independent shops and a lively waterside scene. Graduate Annapolis is our favourite place to stay, with its playful interiors, welcoming atmosphere, great facilities and handy downtown location.
Annapolis is a great city to explore on foot, particularly around the harbour and the pretty streets of downtown. Spend an afternoon browsing the boutiques, stopping for seafood by the water or heading out on a sailing trip across Chesapeake Bay. The US Naval Academy is one of the city's main attractions, while history lovers should make time for the Maryland State House and William Paca House & Garden. Come evening, City Dock is the place to be for waterfront drinks and a lively restaurant scene. Visit in spring for beautiful blossoms or in summer when the sailing season is in full swing.
