We visited Burlington for the first time recently and were told that we should visit the Church Street Marketplace. We did, on a pleasant spring afternoon, and found it an excellent example of what cities should do to make themselves more livable and attractive. There were some interesting food choices, like the place where we got a delicious wood-fired pizza... More

Visited often with my son when at UVM. Whole area is college centric with discounts for students. A great place to eat, shop and/or study.

It was a beautiful Saturday and Church street was busy and buzzing! The wide pedestrian street is lined with interesting shops, restaurants and bars, spilling out onto the street with street entertainers adding to the atmosphere. It being a Saturday, we ate lunch at the Farmers Market which had a wide variety of local food, crafts and plants. Great local... More

There is a wonderful selection of stores, art shops, restaurants and bars on Church street (and its cross streets). Outdoor seating. Dog friendly. A great place to visit.

Church Street on a Sunday afternoon was nothing but pleasure. Good food choices (we ate at Scuffers), lots of shopping (very good independent bookstore), and half-price ice cream at Ben and Jerry's (used a coupon in TravelHost magazine). Free parking on Sundays, too. We had a great time.

It would not be a trip to Burlington without going to Church Street. The assortment of stores, boutiques and restaurants is great! There are always other entertainment - street performers - to entertain you too. If you are there on a Saturday, do not miss the Farmers' Market - a great assembly of produce, prepared food and crafts. Do not... More

Just being there is fun, and one can find many good stores and cafes on this street. Many choices of great coffee. Try to go there on empty stomach to try out the ice-cream, coffee, crepes, and chocolates on this street.

Church Street is great - several car-free blocks of shopping, eating, and outdoor entertainment. There are so many different types of shops and restaurants on Church Street and the surrounding streets. Food ranges from very upscale to cheap but excellent food from street vendors and holes-in-the-wall. Same with the shopping. And if anyone in your party isn't interested in shopping,... More

Great outdoor market, lots of specialty shops and restaurants and bars. Outdoor seating on warm days, remember sunny and 60 count as warm in Burlington.
