In a nutshell
Is there something in the water there?
nyceagle1633 Says: Very cool little movie theater that sits probably around 50.
The Vermont Historical Society Museum
emilienoelle Says: Located in a beautiful historic building next to the Vermont State House, the Historical Society's Museum is a great way to spend some time on a fall afternoon. American history buffs will enjoy learning about the history of Vermont, the museum's exhibits dating all the way...
brazwhazz Says: Hubbard Park, created in 1899 by John E. Hubbard (hence the name of the park), is both an excellent hiking spot for those who want to start their ascension from Elm Street or the State House and a nice family spot for those families who prefer to take their car up to one of...
tvdandy Says: Walking up and down State Street, you will see many state buildings which are visually appealing. From the beautiful gold dome of the capital building, to the manor style structure of the court house. For photography fans, you will not be disappointed.
Cruising Main Street in downtown
tvdandy Says: Taking a right on Main Street at the cross section of State and Main, you will head into the heart of downtown. Some very cool, slightly edge shops and bars are this way. As well as some nice eateries, bookstores and coffee houses. Character is the best word to describe this...
emilienoelle Says: Following Vermont's strong tradition of government by the People, the state house is open to visitors whenever its doors are open. Free guided tours are offered, but visitors are also encouraged to look around the building on their own, sit in on legislative sessions, and...

nyceagle1633 Says: It was Father's Day, so this place was reserved out. However, looking around, it was trendy cool organic food grown local where you can see the chefs cooking. The place is small, so call ahead and reserve.
Sarducci's: Italian in Montpelier
nyceagle1633 Says: Very busy very popular restaurant. Food was was very good. The salmon was recommended by Betsy of Betsy Bed and Breakfast and she was correct, extremely satisfied.
dmoran Says: Sarducci's is a Montpelier institution; those of us who live here almost always see people we know whenever we're dining there. It's in a long, low building on the edge of the Winooski River, and the side facing the river has a narrow sort of enclosed porch with windows...
Julio's Cantina: Vermont's Version of Mexican Food
emilienoelle Says: Although this place is certainly cute--it has a great little sidewalk patio and the inside is decorated very well--the food isn't that great. Most of the stuff we tried had little or no flavor and was either drowning in grease or covered in so much cheese that you couldn't...
Capitol Theater: Let's go to the moviess!
tvdandy Says: Are you a movie fanatic like myself. Well heck, why not treat yourself to a film in a little independent movie theater with some character. It's in a great location as well, right on State Street, near the Main Street intersection, where the heart of downtown is.
Galahad Says: On the western edge of town is the main railroad station. However I never discovered it. I hired a car in Montpelier for a couple of days and driving out of town along State Street going North (it becomes US Route 2) you come across the main railroad. I hardly hard time to...
Galahad Says: We travelled to Montpelier from Boston on the Vermont Lines bus The bus goes from Boston to Montreal. We returned again on Vermont Lines direct from Montpelier to Boston Logan Airport. Vermont Lines buses can be booked through Greyhound.
nyceagle1633 Says: They make maple syrup and everything else you can think of with maple Maple
Cute Little Stores: Shopping Downtown
emilienoelle Says: Downtown Montpelier is full of cute, little shops from clothing boutiques and art galleries to independent book shops and antiques dealers. It's a lot of fun to walk around and check out them out if you have time. You can find some really unique things. One of my favorite...
Galahad Says: To my surprise at 2.00pm on the Saturday afternoon State Street, one of the principle streets in town, was closed. A stage set up with a sound system and all the women and childrens fashion retailers in the town got together and held an impromptu fashion show. After about an...
davecallahan Says: Montpelier is a little below average for crime stats, which puts it in the 60% bracket for safe cities of its size in America. They only have one registered sex offender.Burglary and Theft are the two most-frequent crimes committed in Montpelier. So remember to keep car...
brazwhazz Says: We seldom visit cemeteries, but made an exception for Green Mount Cemetery, located just outside of Montpelier. This is an excellent place to enjoy the Vermont landscape in the fall, as you can see the surrounding hills in various stages of turning red, orange and yellow.The...
davecallahan Says: Small course; $25 for 9 holes (and cart). Tees, fairways, Greens are all bent grass and fairly well maintained. The roughs are deep and can cost a shot.It is a typical executive course with open fairways and only a few hazards. Two tees and greens are elevated with a...
brazwhazz Says: One of the best ways to experience Montpelier is to just stroll along the town's main streets and observe their many historical buildings.Before we visited Montpelier, we printed out the suggested itineraries at the following address: ...

Montpelier (where I live) - Montpelier is quite small for a capital city. I don't think it meets the population requirement for a standard definition of "city"--it has about 8,000 people (yes, that's eight thousand). It's the...
