Today’s travelers want convenience! Why not recommend a location that is central to Annapolis?

A hub for attractions, hotels, and shopping, Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and its surrounding community make up one of the most active parts of Anne Arundel County. One of the fastest growing airports in the country, BWI is 20 minutes from Baltimore, 30 minutes from Annapolis and 40 minutes from Washington D.C.

Maryland’s number one tourist attraction, Arundel Mills Mall, is located in nearby Hanover. The “shopping, dining, and entertainment destination” includes Muvico Theaters and many nationally known corporations such as Bass Pro Shops/Outdoor World and the popular Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament.

Within minutes of BWI are the Historical Electronics Museum, the National Cryptologic Museum, and the Benson-Hammond House.
