Is Burlington worth visiting?

Solo travel experience

Burlington was such a wonderful town to visit. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Businesses had great service with seemingly happy employees. Church street was so cute and I had to restrain myself from spending all of my money there! I went to an EDM show at the Metronome and had an absolute blast! I discovered some caves that you can only access by crossing a frozen lake! So many adventure possibilities. I cannot wait to go back!
