Burlington's life in photos

Best selection of photos

Burlington has some photogenic spots that could give even a shy amateur photographer the confidence to snap away. Starting with the Church Street Marketplace, an outdoor mall that's pedestrian-only, visitors can capture the colorful array of shops, restaurants, street performers, historic architecture, and the spire of the First Congregational Church.

Another picture-perfect location is the Burlington Waterfront Park, a 900-foot boardwalk along the shore of Lake Champlain. Take in the Adirondack Mountains, snap some shots of kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling, and don't forget to capture the view of the lake and mountains meeting the lively cityscape.

The South End Arts District is an urban photographer's dream. Here, visitors can capture graffiti art murals, vibrant colors, and unique designs that provide a striking background for any photo shoot. The historical brick buildings that line the streets of this artsy neighborhood are also a sight to see.

For a more classic New England vibe, grab your camera and head to the University of Vermont campus. Capture the red-brick buildings, towering trees, and historic statues that decorate the campus grounds. Or take a short drive from Burlington to visit the Shelburne Museum, where meticulously restored 19th-century buildings, gardens, and collections of Americana art and artifacts are on display for you to snap away.

Nature lovers, don't fret! Burlington's got you covered too. Head to Mount Philo State Park and hike to the top for panoramic views of Lake Champlain and the surrounding countryside. Or visit Camel's Hump State Park, where rugged terrain and pristine wilderness make for the perfect shot for any outdoor enthusiasts.

Whether you're a pro with a high-tech camera or just love to snap photos on your phone, Burlington has something for everyone. So why not grab your camera, come explore, and let Burlington charm you into capturing the perfect photo!
