Maryland has often been referred to
as "America in Miniature," and with so much to do, so
close together, residents enjoy a broad range of lifestyles and
activities in convenient reach of the metropolitan areas. Each region
of the state presents distinctly different styles and histories.
. Central Maryland - characterized by rolling hills, historic
towns, and high-tech industries, and anchored by the City of Baltimore
with its revitalized Inner Harbor and famous ethnic neighborhoods
. Suburban Maryland - sophisticated region known for its
fast-growing and innovative biotech companies, surrounds Washington,
D.C. on three sides
. Western Maryland - mountains, forests, fast-flowing streams,
and the state's largest fresh water lake
. Eastern Shore - retains its rural character and quiet lifestyle
with robust farming country, quaint old towns, and fishing villages
complementing a major seaside resort, Ocean City
. Southern Maryland - Maryland's fastest growing region,
known for its maritime heritage
Maryland, which donated land to establish the nation's capital,
benefits from nearby attractions in Washington, D.C. In addition
to a global perspective represented by Embassy Row and international
delegations, there are national treasures such as the Smithsonian
Institution, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, National
Museum for African Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the National
Zoo.
