Depends how old you are, what your likes and dislikes are, how long you'll be in town, etc...
The Inner Harbor is known for shops, restaurants and people watching. We have the USS Constellation, built in 1854, it's the last sail-only warship designed and built by the U.S. Navy. During the Civil War, she disrupted the African slave trade by interdicting three slave ships and releasing the imprisoned Africans. We also have the Coast Guard Cutter Taney, the last ship floating that fought in the attack on Pearl Harbor, which also fought in the battle of Okinawa and in Vietnam.
A cab ride away, we have Fort McHenry, a star shaped fort best known for its role in the War of 1812 when it defended Baltimore from an attack by the British navy in the Chesapeake Bay. It was during this bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner", which would eventually become the national anthem.
If you want to grab a pint and some food, head to either Fells Point, a coblestone street neighborhood known for pubs and history, or Federal Hill, a hipper and older version of Fells Point, with great restaurants and pubs.
March will be very cold, especially by the water. If you could mention some hobbies or interests, I might be able to direct you a little better. Enjoy your stay.I Am staying at the Hampton inn inner harbor in Baltimore this coming March. Anyone know what there is to do?
26 and 30, perfect. Imported beers, try Max's on Broadway. It's in Fells Point, and they have over 80 beers on tap, and over 120 bottled beers. If you like Irish pubs, we have James Joyce, with good live music and soccer games, they are located in Harbor East, another trendy neighborhood

Inner Harbor is a little attempt at creating a downtown bar scene, sort of like Alexandria Old Town in DC (but a lot smaller). There's lots of nightlife.
