Christmas Lights on 34th Street Every year at Christmas time, the residents of 34th Street in the Hamden neighborhood of Baltimore decorate their street and homes with lights and over-the-top decor. It is kitschy but fun and absolutely worth a visit—particularly if one needs to get into the holiday spirit! 34th Street, Baltimore

Baltimore is home to three fine art museums: The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Reginald F. Lewis Museum, and the Walters Art Museum. Each is full of wonderful collections that could easily enrich a winter’s day. Each has its specialties. The Baltimore Museum of Art has a magnificent impressionist collection with the Cone Collection. The Lewis Museum is the only African American Museum in Maryland and celebrates African American life in Maryland. The Walters Art Museum’s collection spans artifacts from the ancient world to the modern world. Why not take in all three? Check the websites for event updates.
