Princess Anne
Give Princess Anne half a day: walk the historic core and tour Teackle Mansion, then sleep in Salisbury 15 min away.
Princess Anne is a 1733 county seat of about 3,300 people on Maryland's Eastern Shore, 15 minutes south of Salisbury off US 13. There is no single blockbuster sight: the draw is a compact grid of 18th- and 19th-century houses, churches and a courthouse, plus the Teackle Mansion. Most travellers see it as a two-to-three-hour stop between Salisbury and the lower shore, or as a quiet overnight in a small B&B.

- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
- United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
- United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
- United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Getting around
A car is the practical choice: US 13 runs past town and everything else on the lower Eastern Shore is a drive away. The historic centre itself is small and flat, and Somerset Avenue has bike lanes and sharrows, so walking or cycling covers the sights in an hour or two.
