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.
