Burlington

Burlington is a city in Vermont situated on the shores of Lake Champlain, positioned about 45 miles south of the Canadian border. It serves as the state's primary commercial and educational hub, with a population near 45,000 residents.

Burlington was founded in 1785 and grew into Vermont's most important commercial and cultural center. Over two centuries, the city established itself as the heart of the state's trade and learning.

Church Street Marketplace is a pedestrian shopping zone where locals and visitors gather for farmers markets, outdoor performances, and seasonal festivals. The space shows how the community has transformed a historic downtown street into the heart of daily social life.

The city is easy to explore on foot, with main attractions concentrated in the central area. Visitors will find restaurants, shops, and public spaces throughout the year.

In 2015, the city switched entirely to renewable energy sources, becoming the first United States city to achieve this goal. This transition reflects a strong commitment to environmental responsibility that defines local identity.
