There's no need to tussle with the crowds inside a packed gallery to enjoy art — you can often find it outdoors. Treat your eyes to some unique works at The Giant Whirligig.

This outdoor arts display in Inner Harbor comes recommended by many travelers, so be sure to put it on your travel itinerary. Don't stop there, though. There are a lot more places ready for you to appreciate after The Giant Whirligig. National Aquarium in Baltimore, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and M&T Bank Stadium are close by.
