Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.4 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Baltimore instead of crossing town between them. The Walters Art Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at The Bun Shop — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo, friends, and couples who want a planned Baltimore outing without improvising between stops.
