WHERE TO GO IN 2023: BURLINGTON, VT

For our annual “Where To Go" round-up in January, sustainability was the theme and we were floored by the eco ingenuity across our 50 states. The fact that the cities we found are also cool to visit? That sealed the deal. This week, check out Burlington, one of our “Where to Go in 2023” picks.

Burlington has some serious sustainability chops. The city bills itself as the first in the U.S. to rely solely on renewable sources of energy. They’re in the process of remediating brownsites in the South End arts district. Part of their city action plan includes building up municipal spaces that support pollinators. Composting is an actual state law. It’s not just the policies, though. Sustainability has become a part of the city’s culture. Read more about its sustainability efforts in the “Where to Go in 2023” wrap-up. See all the things to do in Burlington in the guide just below.
