When you think of Vermont, your mind might immediately jump to skiing, and the state is definitely known for its amazing slopes. However, its most populous city is known for so much more. Burlington is a vibrant New England city with plenty of activities to enjoy.

If you are planning a trip to Burlington or even planning a move there, you can rest assured that there are a ton of exciting experiences awaiting you. Whether you want an adrenaline rush or a relaxing afternoon, there are fun things to suit every personality. Here are a few fun things to do in Burlington to get you started:

Check Out Church Street

Church Street is Burlington’s shopping district. If you enjoy window shopping, slowly browsing bookstores, or sampling local homemade treats, consider a stroll along Church Street. Though it is called a “steet,” Church Street is closed to motor vehicles and is for pedestrians only. 


Church Street is six blocks long, and offers many unique and local shopping opportunities. If you are not in the mood for shopping, there are also many great restaurants to grab a bite to eat. Many of the restaurants also offer outdoor dining in the warmer months. Street performers also frequent Church Street, providing some entertainment for you.

Enjoy the Waterfront

Burlington is located right on Lake Champlain, and with the lake come all the benefits of a waterfront. Enjoy a serene walk on the boardwalk right along the water, or book a scenic boat ride to take in the sights of Burlington and the surrounding area from the water. Plan a picnic or just a relaxing visit to Burlington Waterfront Park.

If you are looking for something more exciting, plan to take part in some watersports on the lake in the warmer months. There are also nearby beaches if you want to enjoy a swim, as well as the Burlington Bike Path if you want to enjoy a ride along the lake. If you love the idea of living in a Vermont city situated on a lake, keep an eye on Burlington houses for sale.
