The glaringly obvious next destination from the Capital Region is the Capital itself, Washington, D.C.. But south is certainly not the only rewarding travel destination: north on I-95 takes you to Baltimore's Inner Harbor, with tons of great museums and the National Aquarium; east on US-50 heads straight to the beautiful Chesapeake Bay's sailing and crab-eating culture and further on to the oceanside resort town of Ocean City; west of Frederick on US-340 goes to historic Harpers Ferry; and northwest on I-70 will bring you to Hagerstown, the mountains of Western Maryland, and the Civil War Battlefield of Antietam.
