Getting Around

There’s a wide variety of ways to get around Vermont once you’re here. Whether you drove here or choose to rent a car when you arrive, a scenic drive is a great way to get around and maximize sightseeing as you get from place to place. Walkable downtowns mean so much to see, sample, and explore within walking distance, and rail trails connecting downtowns extend walking and cycling range. Trains that connect Vermont to the rest of the country also stop within Vermont, and for those who choose to through-hike, the 272-mile Long Trail extends from Vermont’s border with Massachusetts to its border with Canada.

Many Vermont downtowns offer taxi services from individual companies. It’s a good idea to call ahead to be sure a ride will be available when you want one, especially if you’re arriving late at night or early in the morning. Many larger downtowns, including Brattleboro, Stowe, Burlington, and Manchester, have drivers for rideshare services like Uber and Lyft as well.
