Baltimore's Inner Harbor — the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, the harbor-front restaurants and shops, and the water-taxi network connecting them — is one of the most popular day-trip destinations from DC and a natural stop for travelers routing through BWI. DCA Limos runs chauffeured sedans, SUVs and Sprinter vans to the Inner Harbor from DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia, and we also handle the short BWI-to-Inner-Harbor transfer for travelers combining a flight with a Baltimore day.

Downtown Baltimore's harbor-front garages are plentiful but can run $20–$30 for a full day, on top of whatever time is spent circling for the closest one on a busy weekend — costs and hassle a chauffeured drop-off and pickup removes entirely.
Because BWI sits just 10 miles from the Inner Harbor, travelers flying in or out of BWI commonly add a Baltimore day to the trip — a morning at the National Aquarium before an afternoon flight, or a harbor dinner after a late-afternoon landing. We run that short transfer regularly and can hold luggage in the vehicle for a same-day round trip back to the airport.
For visitors based in DC, Maryland or Northern Virginia making the full trip up, the drive runs 50 minutes to just over an hour depending on starting point and I-95 traffic, which we build into the pickup schedule.
The National Aquarium draws large family groups and school field trips, and a Sprinter van keeps everyone together for the drive up and the return trip, which matters more than usual with young kids and the gear that comes with them. Corporate teams also use the Inner Harbor for an offsite day trip or team outing, often pairing the Aquarium or Science Center with lunch at one of the harbor-front restaurants.

Both Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium sit within walking distance of the Inner Harbor, making a harbor afternoon followed by an Orioles or Ravens game a common full-day itinerary. See our <a href="/oriole-park-camden-yards-transportation">Camden Yards transportation page</a> and <a href="/mt-bank-stadium-transportation">M&T Bank Stadium transportation page</a> for game-day specifics.
