Plan A One-Tank Getaway

Annapolis & Anne Arundel County has so much to offer during autumn and the holiday season. And because Annapolis & Anne Arundel County is conveniently located near Washington, D.C.; Baltimore; New York City; and Philadelphia; we’re just one tank away.

Plan a fall or holiday getaway to Annapolis & Anne Arundel County with family or friends for a variety of fun activities. First, go shopping!  Annapolis & Anne Arundel County has become a world-class shopping destination: Westfield Mall has expanded and has become a highlight for people as far away as the Eastern Shore. Annapolis’ Historic District has a wealth of charming boutiques, and Arundel Mills Mall is always the perfect all-day event.

The fall is also a beautiful time to get outside and see the changing leaves – whether you are kayaking, hiking a trail, or cycling along a wooded path.

On a snowy day, buy a movie ticket, have lunch at one of our chic downtown restaurants, do some shopping or visit a gallery, and then head to the theater. Annapolis Town Center will be opening this October, and will offer amazing restaurants and great shopping, all in a town center setting. Have dinner at one of our Zagat-rated destination restaurants, a cozy Irish pub, or on the waterfront. Afterwards, attend one of the many events of the fall and winter season.

Wrap up the day with an overnight stay in one of our luxurious hotels, room service and all, or be pampered in one of our cozy B&Bs. Plan your one-tank getaway and visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County this fall!
