If you want to make visiting Vermont worthwhile at all, you will need your own transportation. Public transportation outside of Burlington is inconvenient or nonexistent. There is no Uber or Lyft. To make your visit at all worth your time or money, you need your own wheels.

That said, visiting in Vermont in the winter is incredibly popular and well worth it. It’s best to hit up several touristy towns, spending 1-2 days in each. All the better if you ski, but if not there’s still a lot to do.
