Berlin has won a plethora of awards from multiple publications over the past five years naming it one of the nation’s best small towns. The streets are walkable and lined with magnolia and ginkgo trees. Berlin has an interesting past and 47 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Admire these preserved or renovated structures downtown. Fun fact: Tuck Everlasting and Runaway Bride were filmed in Berlin. Berlin is also family-friendly with good schools.
There is never a dull moment in Berlin. The town hosts over 40 events annually. Sign up for the Bathtub Races, a quirky contest where teams decorate a tub on wheels, fill it with water, and push a teammate inside the tub toward finish line. View artwork at Second Friday Strolls where artists display masterpieces in streets and stores. Berlin has several parks and is close to other beautiful natural spaces including beaches. Visit Assateague Island, a coastal haven perfect for over-sand vehicles, camping, surfing, and horseback riding.
Along with amazing attractions, Berlin is a great location for shopping and dining. Downtown is filled with stylish boutiques and unique specialty shops. Berlin is the antique capital of the Eastern Shore so be sure to visit a shop. Indulge in Maryland’s famous blue crabs at one of the many seafood restaurants like Crush-n-Crab. Berlin has more than enough to offer but is only 15 minutes from Ocean City, a premier vacation destination in Maryland.
