About Burlington

Burlington is Vermont's largest city, on Lake Champlain, with a lively pedestrian marketplace, a lakefront path and the Green Mountains behind.

Burlington stands on a hill above Lake Champlain, facing the Adirondack Mountains across the water, with the Green Mountains rising to the east. It is Vermont's largest city and home to the University of Vermont. Church Street Marketplace, a long, traffic-free brick street of shops, cafés and street performers, runs up from the lake. The waterfront has a park and a boardwalk, and a bike path runs along the shore and out onto a causeway in the lake.
