Review:

Once a colonial seaport and the nation’s first peacetime capital resting on the shores of Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River, Annapolis is dotted with 18th century buildings and its rich history is evident at every corner.

Quaint brick-lined streets are home to beautiful examples of architecture, while an array of interesting museums and galleries tell the story of the centuries-old port town. Home to the US Naval Academy and the Maryland State House, the oldest state capitol still in use, history buffs will delight in the town’s interesting offerings.

Known as America’s Sailing Capital, the city is a paradise for water-lovers, and the marina is full of sailing vessels, old and new. Dine on fresh crab cakes at one of the waterfront cafés and listen to the sound of tinkling yacht masts as they bob gently in the breeze.

Head into the patchwork of rich farmlands of the Annapolis Countryside, where the story of generations of farmers and watermen is alive in the quaint 19th century bungalows whose hammocks sway gently on their porches.
