Not only is Charles Village (adjacent to campus) pretty safe, so is Hampden (on the opposite side) as well as funky beyond belief. Then, further to the north, there are Homeland, Roland Park, and Guilford, which are some of the most beautiful residential neighborhoods anywhere in the country (especially Homeland). And further afield, Baltimore has more fascinating neighborhoods such as Fell’s Point, Little Italy, Canton, Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, and on and on.

On the other hand, it’s not a city you can wander around at will in. It’s got miles of absolute squalor that will take your breath away. So you should really know your way around before taking a tour.
