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. More

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. More

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. More

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. More

Burlington must be one of the most walkable cities in the US. This is the heart of the city. Loads of little shops and restaurants. Friendly people, we spent a little time just sitting on one of the benches talking to the locals. Parking lots around it give you the first two hours free. We are in our 60's and... More

So many things to do! Music in the streets, great food, great bars. It wasn't just a young population, but older couples and families! Very quaint and beautiful. More

The Church St marketplace is a welcome relief from the usual auto infested town centers so common in America. Closed to traffic, it is a lovely place to stroll, shop and eat al fresco at sidewalk cafes and fine restaurants. Most of the businesses are locally owned, and the street musicians and cart vendors add to the festive atmosphere. More
