How far is it from the Inner Harbor to the cruise ship terminal?

[C-breeze]

We are considering doing the city tour with Celebrity. There is an option to be let off at the Inner Harbor to explore and then get back to the ship yourself. I am wondering if this would be worth our while and how far is it back to the ship? Is it within walking distance, or do we need to take a cab, shuttle or bus? Also what is there to do at the Inner Harbor? Would an hour or 2 give us enough time to walk around?

 

thank you

Lots to do and see in the inner harbour. Street vendors; entertainers etc. It's about a mile back to the ship.

This map should help, the red line showing the walk between the two

IMO it is very walkable, but I guess it depends on what you call walkable, the length you want to walk, and the fitness of your group. If it's a nice day or evening, it's a beautiful walk (right through my old neighbourhood - I miss James Bay!).

 

Have fun. :)

I've cruise 3 coastal and am very familiar with the walk. It takes about 15-20 minutes and is very easy. It takes a bit longer if you follow the sea wall back versus taking a direct line. The tourist maps at the port's "visitors center" are pretty easy to follow.
