Day Trip from Boston 丨 Vermont is More Than Just Maple Leaves 🍁

Day Trip from Boston 丨 Vermont is More Than Just Maple Leaves 🍁 When people think of Vermont, fall foliage usually comes to mind—but Burlington is a town full of surprises year-round! Let’s explore its many charms～ 👇 📍 Burlington，Vermont ❣️ About 3.5 hours from Boston by car, or just 1.5 hours from Hanover—perfect for a weekend getaway, easy to plan on a whim～ ✨ Burlington Waterfront 🌊 📍 Restaurant pick: Splash at the Boathouse 🍹 Address: 0 College Street, Burlington, VT Burlington sits right on Lake Champlain, with stunning lakeside views! Best of all, it’s dog-friendly🐾—ideal for picnics or walks with your pup. Want a different perspective? Take a cruise around the lake, wind in your hair and scenery all around—pure relaxation～ Their Lobster Roll is a must-try! Piled high with fresh lobster meat, sweet and briny, it’s even better enjoyed with the lake view. 🦞 ✨ Church Street Marketplace 🛍️ 📍 Burlington’s downtown pedestrian street 🍹 Address: 131 Church St, Burlington, VT This is a treasure trove! Artists and craftspeople sell handmade jewelry, vintage finds, and unique —you could spend all day browsing. We even stumbled upon a “Husband Day Care Centre” (turns out it’s a bar/restaurant, too funny😂). Don’t forget: Burlington is the birthplace of Ben and Jerry's! Swing by their shop on the street for wild flavors—each bite is pure sweetness. 🍦 ✨ College St x St Paul St 🍻 📍 Recommend: The Vermont Pub & Brewery 🍹 Address: 144 College St, Burlington, Vermont This century-old pub has over 20 beers—so many choices, it’s hard to pick! The fruity “Forbidden Fruit” (raspberry) is amazing, light and refreshing, great for those who don’t love heavy beers. Sit on the outdoor patio, sip your drink, and watch the sunset paint the sky orange—too beautiful to leave～ 🌇 ✨ North Beach/"Texaco Beach" 🏖️ 📍 North Beach Park (dog-friendly!) 🍹 Address: 60 Institute Road, Burlington, VT Non-residents pay $10 to enter, but it’s worth it! The beach is small but lovely—wade in the water, soak up the sun, or let your dog run free on the grass. Perfect for summer days～ Vermont is more than just maple leaves—Burlington’s lakeside, old streets, and pubs… every corner makes you want to come back! Next weekend, skip the usual foliage trip and unlock more fun here～ 😉 #Hanover#Dartmouth#BostonDayTrips#WeekendGetaways#Vermont#USATravel#LongWeekend#ShortTrips#DogFriendly
