Montpelier, the capital of Vermont, has the distinction of being the smallest capital city in the country. Located in the Green Mountains along the Winooski River, Montpelier’s historic downtown is filled with colorful boutiques and independently owned shops offering everything from chocolates to books to toys.

Restaurants and bars come alive at night with eclectic cuisine and live music. Visitors will appreciate the gold-domed capitol, its art installations, and its outdoor event space. Local galleries, music venues, live theater performances, and a free summer concert series entertain visitors all year round. Nature lovers can stroll through Hubbard Park’s natural beauty and enjoy scenic views.
