Annapolis is a small town located between the better known cities of Washington DC Baltimore. Crowned as the capital of Maryland, this quaint town is not often viewed as a bustling tourist place as its neighboring cities but it does maintain its way that attracts those tourists that want to experience that authentic romantic feeling of the days of yore. Annapolis is a wonderful city to explore by foot.

Travel through the side roads that contain some of the most preserved historical houses of the 18th and 19th century. Pass by the Victorian-Gothic style houses such as the Banneker-Douglas Museum located on Franklin street. Head towards Church Circle where tombs of Maryland’s founders are now interred; sit and relax underneath the great trees that do so encircle this fine Romanesque Revival church. Spend some time at St. Johns College which is only a few steps from the church. This campus contains many historical buildings that have contributed to the romantic feel of Annapolis. As one strolls passed the governor’s mansion, one can admire the lovely historical homes that line the street.

For a truly romantic setting, one should not forget the imperial Treaty of Paris Hotel. This hotel offers fine dinning in a colonial setting. To further enhance the romantic mood, a coach ride is always possible. The guide will drive past other historical sections of the city such as the capital building and hidden gardens. Annapolis may be the capital of Maryland, but it also offers much history and romance for the visitor.
