Lake Champlain and framed by the Green Mountains and New York's Adirondacks, Burlington — Vermont's most populous city, at just under 45,000 residents — draws visitors for its natural beauty, farm-to-table food scene and progressive sensibility. Among the longtime producers and makers (many of whom appear at the city's Saturday farmers market, which relocated in recent years), Burlington has a crop of new bars, cafes and wellness experiences, including a lakefront sauna. The city is also a jumping-off point to discover gems in neighboring Addison County, and to explore the Lake Champlain region, which is an almost sacred experience in fall, when the landscape unfurls into a spectacular temple. ITINERARYFriday 4 p.m. | Taste autumn in a cone Ben & Jerry's may be synonymous with Vermont, but it isn't the only place to grab a cone. Down the street from City Hall Park, look for the Italian flag that marks Shy Guy Gelato. Paul Sansone, an owner and native Vermonter, has churned gelato here since 2016, after learning the craft in Italy. Six flavors change daily, and autumnal favorites may include cider doughnut or sweet potato crunch. Take your cone ($6) and follow Maple Street, dotted with historic homes, to Perkins Pier, where a view of Lake Champlain and New York's Adirondack Mountains, about 12 miles across the lake, greets you. From there, walk 10 minutes north on the 8-mile Burlington Greenway — a bicycle and walking path initiated in 1985 by Bernie Sanders, who was then the mayor — to Waterfront Park, where visitors stroll the boardwalk and enjoy lakefront views.
