Annapolis

Note on routing

Plan your arrival by 6:00 PM. Park your rental car at your hotel and leave it there for the weekend—Annapolis's compact downtown is entirely walkable. > ⚠️ Note on routing: The original itinerary contained a significant geographic error—Annapolis, Maryland cannot be reached from Vancouver, BC in 4–4.5 hours, and the described route through northern California and I-66 is not accurate. Annapolis is approximately a 30–40 hour drive from Vancouver, BC. If you are flying, fly into BWI (Baltimore/Washington International), which is approximately 30 minutes from Annapolis. If traveling from the Washington D.C. area by car, allow 45–60 minutes from downtown D.C., accounting for weekend traffic. Dinner: A waterfront seafood restaurant along the City Dock Skip the drive to distant suburbs on your first night and settle into Annapolis immediately. The City Dock area offers several casual seafood restaurants serving fresh Chesapeake crab, oysters, and local fish. Ask your hotel for a current recommendation based on the night's specials—waterfront seating is common and the atmosphere is quintessentially Annapolis. Expect $30–50/person for seafood. Confirm hours before visiting. 🕒 If you prefer something more casual: Browse the seafood shacks along Annapolis City Dock ✅ for fresh crab and oysters—a quintessential Annapolis ritual with no pretense. > 🍽️ Backup: If your first-choice restaurant is fully booked, walk along the dock—there are multiple dining options within a two-minute stroll of one another.
