If you’re planning on traveling to Annapolis without breaking the bank, you’ll love our Ultimate Annapolis Travel Guide for Traveling on a Budget!
Annapolis is a place that has a special spot in both my husband and I’s heart. It was the place where we celebrated our marriage on our honeymoon and a place we frequently visit when we’re craving the smell of salty water and the taste of lobster rolls. As a result, we kind of refer to ourselves as wannabe tourist experts on the city. This is one of the reasons why I am SUPER excited to share today’s post, which consists of a travel guide of the best places to eat, things to see, places to stay, and things to do in Annapolis, Maryland.
If you’re planning on or thinking of traveling to the coastal city in the future without breaking the bank, this travel guide will help you along the way!
