Sometimes you simply need more time on weekends. Even just an extra day can give you time to explore all that an area has to offer, and then some. After all, who wants to find out about “the best breakfast spot” from the locals on your way out of town? Not us! So, go ahead and take that extra day and enjoy a long weekend in VT. We have a few places that have so much to offer, you’ll be happy to spend more than two days checking them out.
- Middlebury
Flickr/Jasperdo This college town is full of wonderful architecture and a haven for the arts. From breweries to museums, a long weekend it the time to see it all!
- St. Johnsbury
Flickr/Don Shall Bring your furry friends to “St. J” because they’re going to love Dog Mountain! There are also ATV and snowmobile tours, the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium, and a great rail trail for hiking.
- Burlington
Flickr/Don Shall It’s not often you find a city that is on the water with mountain views! Get some fresh air on the bike path or on the waterfront, shop the cobblestoned streets and dine in restaurants that specialize in farm to table dining. Burlington has it all!
- Bennington
Flickr/Vilseskogen You’ll love the historical monuments and museums in this great place. From covered bridges to specialty stores, you can expect the unexpected in Bennington!
- Brattleboro
Flickr/iluvgadgets Be sure to plan a trip to the epic farmers market while you’re here! Grab some lunch and enjoy it in the town common, or take a stroll by the river. Parks, arts, covered bridges and more!
- Stowe
Flickr/Ryan Taylor This quaint town has a lot to offer in every season! Don’t miss the award winning bike path and take a drive up the toll road to the top of Mt. Mansfield for some spectacular views. From shopping to zip lining, you’ll never run out of things to do!
- Montpelier
Flickr/Michel G. Everyone will love a trip to the smallest state capital! Be sure to check out the views from the old tower in Hubbard Park while you’re there. But don’t go looking for a McDonalds in Montpelier… It’s the only state capital without one!
- East Burke
Flickr/Jay Just look at the views from the chairlift on Burke Mountain! With some of the best mountain bike trails and peaceful spots for leaf peeping, this little town is full of energy. Check it out in the winter when it becomes a wonderland!
