Cheap flights to Burlington, VT

Tucked away in the northwest corner of Vermont, the cozy city of Burlington truly is one of New England’s best kept secrets. The city is renowned for its regal Victorian architecture and artisan culture, with a plethora of arts and crafts boutiques offering all manner of unique and imaginative wares.

On the surface, the city enjoys a gentle beauty that folds historic buildings with tree-lined streets and lakeside vistas, a winning combination that led to Forbes voting Burlington as Prettiest Town in America in 2010.

Yet there is more to Burlington than its handsome veneer, for beneath the visual charm lies a sophisticated atmosphere characterized by wineries, chocolatiers and brewpubs, as well as all manner of watersports held on Lake Champlain. The city’s history is also worth exploring, with a number of tours on offer that cover everything from the Colonial period, all the way up to the present day. Looking further afield, Burlington is located 50 minutes from the Canadian border, while those keen to see moose and bear can explore the stunning wilderness of the Green Mountains a couple of hours south.
