Downtown Burlington captivates with its vibrant Church Street Marketplace, where street musicians play amid outdoor cafes and historic brick facades. Wander four blocks to discover Lake Champlain's sparkling waterfront and Battery Park's tree-lined paths. Art lovers can explore galleries showcasing Vermont crafts in converted 19th-century buildings or catch performances at the iconic Flynn Center.
Farm-to-table restaurants serve Vermont cheese, craft beer, and maple-infused dishes throughout the walkable district. Most attractions sit within easy walking distance, while bike-share stations and Green Mountain Transit buses connect the area for longer trips.

South End
South End is Burlington's creative heartbeat where brick warehouses have transformed into buzzing art galleries and craft breweries. Stroll through this industrial-turned-artistic district to discover local creatives at work in spaces like Pine Street Art Works and the quirky World's Tallest Filing Cabinet. Monthly art walks showcase Vermont's distinctive craft culture while Switchback Brewing and Citizen Cider offer perfect post-gallery refreshments.
Dining options focus on casual spots serving local ingredients with a creative twist. The neighborhood is best explored on foot or bike, with downtown Burlington just a short ride away. Though South End has limited lodging within its boundaries, you'll find plenty of options nearby to rest after your artistic adventures.
Burlington's New North End is where local life and lakeside leisure join forces without the tourist crowds. The Burlington Bike Path winds through tree-lined corridors to sandy North Beach, where Lake Champlain's waves lap against the shore. Leddy Park offers expansive green lawns, while the Intervale's community gardens showcase local agriculture and wildlife habitats.
Casual neighborhood eateries serve up comfort food at family-friendly prices, most closing early evening. Vacation rentals in single-family homes provide affordable alternatives to downtown accommodations. With excellent cycling infrastructure and ample outdoor recreation, the New North End delivers authentic Vermont living just a 15-minute drive from downtown Burlington.
The Old North End serves up Burlington's most authentic cultural stew, where Vietnamese pho shops sit next to Bosnian bakeries and Somali restaurants. Community gardens burst with veggies while colorful murals celebrate the neighborhood's diverse heritage. Texaco Beach offers a relaxing lakeside escape when you need a breather from exploring the vibrant North End Arts center.
Budget-friendly ethnic eateries make this area perfect for travelers who value genuine experiences over tourist traps. Most visitors get around on foot or bike, with downtown Burlington just a short trip away. While accommodations are limited to occasional home rentals, the neighborhood's proximity to Lake Champlain and Battery Park more than makes up for it.
Centennial offers a peaceful retreat from Burlington's busier districts, with tree-lined streets and residential charm that feels genuinely local. The neighborhood's crown jewel is Centennial Woods Natural Area, where 65 acres of preserved forest invite you to wander maple-shaded trails and spot local wildlife. Nearby Centennial Field hosts community gatherings that give you a taste of authentic Vermont life.

This is a beautiful town with much to see, walk, do, and buy. Great food, the Flynn theatre and a comedy club right next door, and over a dozen restaurants. Like any major city, which, for Vermont, Burlington is, you will encounter homeless people.

"Great place. Maybe the best Microtel I’ve stayed at. Clean top to bottom. Had to mess with the shower drain for a second. An example place for hotels in small cities."
"This hotel offered us much more than what was described on its website. Outdoor furniture is spread throughout the large backyard along the river, where we spent time enjoying our morning coffee and relaxing after hiking. We also enjoyed the live Irish music on Thursday evening. The Stowe Recreation Path is within a short distance (0.25 mi)."
