One of the top things to do in Vermont is spend a day or two in Burlington. The centerpiece of town is Church Street Marketplace, which offers plenty of shopping and restaurants, many with outdoor dining. Find cozy lodging such as the rustic but modern Hotel Vermont, or consider a stay at one of the town’s best bed-and-breakfasts. Of course, this popular waterfront city also boasts a variety of local breweries.
Other highlights in Burlington include ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, a science and nature museum; the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, a historical home commemorating one of Vermont’s founders; and, for those who enjoy quirky attractions, the World’s Tallest Filing Cabinet. Whatever you do, don’t bypass the Burlington Greenway Bike/Walk Path, a pleasant paved trail that runs along Lake Champlain and connects beaches, parks and neighborhoods.
