Booking a Hotel in Greenbelt, MD

Greenbelt has a unique history as the first federally planned city founded during the New Deal era in 1937.  Greenbelt was born in the style of the English garden cities of the 19th century with forestland and belts of green between neighborhoods and a system of walkways connecting the city. 

Greenbelt Museum is the perfect place to learn more about this intriguing planned community and New Deal history. The museum offers exhibits, public lectures, and walking tours of the historic community. 

The outdoors in Greenbelt is often the main attraction and should not be overlooked.  Greenbelt Park is a beautiful park nestled within the city where visitors can enjoy a hike on its 9 miles of trails or a picnic and even spend the night at the campground. Buddy Attick Lake Park is another great park to enjoy the outdoors with trails that wind around the lake, a picnic pavilion, and playgrounds. 

In the Greenbelt Historic District, the Old Greenbelt Theatre is a prime destination, showing contemporary films and classic movies.
