For shopping, dining, and entertainment with a great view and atmosphere, visitors should head to Harborplace & The Gallery, a waterfront complex on the Inner Harbor. Two pavilions and a glass atrium house local retailers, one-of-a-kind shops, and national chains like Coach, Brooks Brothers, Urban Outfitters, J. Crew, and Banana Republic.
Thirty different eateries and thirteen restaurants give shoppers plenty to choose from, including the Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, and Vaccaro's Italian Pastries for dessert. Several attractions are located right in the complex, such as the Top of the World observation area, sailing charters, and duck tours. Visitors will usually find the area bustling with activity, as Harborplace hosts special events throughout the year from free concerts and street performers to visiting ships and holiday fireworks.
