Burlington, located in Chittenden County, is the largest and most populated city in Vermont. Despite the hustle and bustle of city life, this lakeside city remains characteristically Vermont and is a pleasant city to visit. Burlington offers visitors a variety of unique lodging options from which to choose. Burlington bed and breakfasts and Burlington inns are known for their charm and hospitality, and are sure to make your stay a memorable one. City attractions in Burlington include the
Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, the
Magic Hat Brewing Company, and the
Robert Hull Fleming Museum. Burlington's downtown is a very hip art district centered on the open-air, pedestrian-only
Church Street Marketplace. It is a beautiful downtown area, and has even received a Great American Main Street Award. There are various buildings of architectural interest located both downtown and across the city including a number of churches, such as the local Greek Orthodox Church and the Cathedral Church of St. Paul. Only a short drive from downtown Burlington is the
Heritage Winooski Mill Museum and the picturesque
Ethan Allen Homestead -- a lovely area to have a picnic or simply sit back and take in the beautiful Vermont countryside. Since Burlington is set on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, you can go on a pleasant tour of the lake on one of the inexpensive Lake Champlain ferries. You can also enjoy seeing aquatic wildlife at the
ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center. If you want to find out more about events happening around town, be sure to drop by the Tourist Information Center in downtown Burlington, located near the Church Street Marketplace.
