All about Annapolis
The capital of Maryland, Annapolis sits on the banks of Chesapeake Bay and is known for its historic neighborhoods and 18th-century Colonial, Georgian, and Victorian homes. With its reputation as the sailing capital of the United States, and home to the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis holds several significant historical credentials, including a founding that dates back to 1649. St. John's College, one of the oldest universities in the country, still stands proud on Annapolis soil.
Today, this prosperous East Coast city is known more for its thriving downtown Historic District with boutique shops, galleries, and architectural sites that provide a day of exploration before heading to the Eastport District, where the Annapolis culinary scene emphasizes locally sourced oysters, crabs, and scallops. For nightlife, West Street is where you will find several bars, clubs, and restaurants, many of which regularly host live music on the weekends.
