Convention and Visitors Association (BACVA) is making planning a trip to
Baltimore more affordable than ever with free hotel nights, savings on Amtrak
trains, a new and extended Harbor Pass and online coupons worth over $1,000 in

Nights, Get One Night Free" hotel specials are available for booking starting
June 15, 2008, for stays between July 1 and September 1, 2008. Travelers can
visit http://www.baltimore.org to find booking information for the more than
40 participating hotels.
For those traveling to Baltimore by train, it's now even more affordable
with Amtrak. Travelers can save 50 percent off the best available rail fare
for one adult companion traveling coach with a paid regular adult, senior
citizen or disabled discounted ticket for Amtrak travel to Baltimore.
Visitors can visit http://www.amtrak.com and use the code V828 to receive this
special deal. Plus, Baltimore is a walkable city, so once visitors arrive,
they can easily walk to most attractions, thereby saving money on additional
transportation costs.
To make visiting all of Baltimore's world-class attractions as easy as
possible, Baltimore offers a special "Harbor Pass," which includes admission
to four attractions -- the Maryland Science Center, the National Aquarium in
Baltimore, Top of the World Observation Level and a choice of either Port
Discovery Children's Museum or the American Visionary Art Museum. The pass is
available for four days from the date of purchase, and offers a savings of 20
percent if booked online at http://www.baltimore.org.
Additionally, for the first time, Baltimore has extended the pass to offer
the new "Harbor Pass+" which can be used for an extra day, includes admission
to three additional attractions -- the Babe Ruth Birthplace, Geppi's
Entertainment Museum and the Sports Legends at Camden Yards -- and offers a
discount of 25 percent off single price tickets when purchased online.
Visitors can also cash in on additional savings by downloading Baltimore's
new online summer coupons, which offer nearly $1,000 in savings. To download
the coupons, which offer deals on admission to attractions such as the
