If you're like me, then you love food, beer, cycling, and hiking. Frederick has all these plus more. It's accessible by the MARC train, but you will probably want a car to go explore the mountains or civil war battlefields.

Great little town. So many different shops to look at during the day. Also has a great night life. Also learned some very interesting history! It is a very fun town for a day trip or even for some night life!

Lovely town - a perfect getaway for someone who enjoys art, history and food. Every single person we encountered in the town was gracious and kind. We visited the Frances Scott Key Memorial and the Museum if Civil War Medicine as well as the Delaplaine Art Center and found all to be enjoyable. The town itself is full of art and that made every stroll enjoyable, especially along the promenade at Carroll Creek - which goes right through the middle of town and has an almost European feel to it. We also drove about 1/2 hour one day to Harpers Ferry for hiking and would highly recommend this National Park for novice hikes to beautiful view and places of historical significance. Using Parkmobile makes parking in town a snap and parking is free after 5pm. As much as we loved the history and culture, we absolutely loved the food. Black Hog BBQ Bar has amazing ribs and pullled pork but also delicious cocktails. The Doner Bistro is an adorable little bistro along the Carroll Creek Promenade that has German fare and fantastic beers on tap! We also ate at a cute little deli called TasteBud that had delicious sandwiches and The Silver Diner is truly an experience - vintage diner but with a chef making amazing versions of typical diner fare AND a full bar. All that wonderful food aside - if you go to Frederick and don’t go to Volt you are really missing out. Volt was an absolute dining experience - from the cocktails we had in the bar before heading into the dining room straight through to dessert. Everything bite/sip masterfully crafted.

We had been wanting to spend a full day in Frederick just looking in the shops. I know Frederick has more to offer but that was our plan for the single day we had. We had great fun and found some terrific shops, had lunch, shopped some more and then headed to our next destination. A perfect day. One really good thing I should mention is that Frederick has lots of pedestrian crossing lights, even on smaller streets.

We had a wedding to attend. As out of town guests, Frederick provided many hotel and dining options. My husband enjoyed a round of golf at Whiskey Creek nearby. Not far from DC should you have the time to visit.

Quaint town. Great shops and restaurants. Went boutique shopping. Also lots of antique shops. Didn’t get to visit covered bridges, which are known to be in Fredrick. I drove straight to Market St, cause that seemed like good Central place and indeed it was. It was a beautiful sunny day too, so lots of folks out and I just enjoyed waking around.
