Planning a getaway? Check out Burlington, VT, a small New England city known for its arts and culture scene, nature, and top-notch breweries.

Why go?

While the city is magical any time of year, it’s a perfect fall destination. Make plans to visit during peak fall foliage, holiday gift shopping season + when the hiking mood strikes.

Act like a local:

Food: Dine on fresh pasta plates at Pascolo, fill your plate with the self-serve buffet at Zabby & Elf’s, and don’t skip brunch at Penny Cluse Cafe (we recommend the blueberry coffee cake + huevos rancheros).
Outdoors: Spend time at Waterfront Park along the Lake Champlain Shoreline — the Burlington Bike Path runs along the eastern border.
Listen: Jam out to local tunes at the live music bar Nectar’s or catch a musical performance at The Flynn.

Where to stay:

Vrbo: Downtown Burlington home with a private outdoor hot tub (~$477/night)*
