Plan Your Trip to Burlington!

Planning your Burlington, VT getaway? Think easy: a compact, walkable lakeside city with mountain views, indie shops, and a creative streak. Get here by air at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (BTV), by rail on Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express to Union Station, or via I‑89. Start on the car‑free Church Street Marketplace, chase Lake Champlain sunsets along the waterfront, and dip into the South End Arts District for studios, galleries, and great bites. Festivals, live music, and farm‑to‑table dining keep the calendar, and your itinerary full.

Go car‑optional once you arrive. Downtown and the Waterfront are best on foot; Green Mountain Transit links the airport and neighborhoods; and the Island Line Trail makes biking a joy. Pick your base—Downtown/Waterfront for walkability, South End for artsy energy, South Burlington for easy airport access then build your plan with our hotels, events, restaurants, outdoor adventures, and ready‑made itineraries. Burlington is easy to plan and hard to leave so let's start crafting your perfect Vermont vacation now.
