 * : Quirky city just north of Burlington home to a large African and Himalayan immigrant community.

Understand
Northwest Vermont is dominated by Lake Champlain and the Champlain Valley. As such, the terrain is much flatter than in the rest of the state. Many of Vermont's larger cities and towns can be found in the region, mostly in Chittenden County. More than a third of Vermont's population lives in Northwest Vermont. That being said, there are still many quaint villages and small farms like you would find elsewhere in Vermont.

By car
Northwest Vermont is accessible by car using I-89, US Route 2, US Route 7, and VT Route 15.

By train
There are Amtrak stations in Essex Junction and St. Albans.

By ferry
Ferries connect Burlington with Port Kent, NY, Grand Isle with Plattsburgh, NY, and Charlotte with Essex, NY.

By plane

 * Burlington International Airport, Airport Drive, Phone: +1 802-863-1889. Flights arrive daily via several carriers from as far away as Chicago and Orlando.  Travelers from farther afield will have to make a connection in a larger city. There are non-stop flights to Burlington Airport from the following cities (some cities may be seasonal or only offer service certain days of the week): Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Toronto and Washington.

Get around
Public transportation offered by Green Mountain Transit will get you around Burlington and to some of the larger towns in the region, but you will need a car if you want to explore some of the more rural areas.

See

 * The mountains and lakes and perhaps the biggest attractions. Other attractions include museums in Burlington.

Do

 * Explore downtown Burlington
 * Go sailing on Lake Champlain
 * Hiking: Hiking for all skill levels can be found in the region
 * Visit the Lake Champlain Islands

Eat
There are many restaurants in Northwest Vermont covering a wide variety of cuisines. Burlington has the highest concentration of restaurants, but most towns will have a few. You can find surprisingly refined dining in some of the smaller towns and villages, especially Richmond. Find a farmers market and buy some fresh produce and sample the wide variety of food vendors. The localvore movement is big in Vermont and Northwest Vermont is no exception. Most restaurants will have at least a few locally sourced ingredients, even some of the chains. Individual restaurant listings can be found on the pages for each town or county. One thing that differentiates Northwest Vermont from the rest of the state is the availability of ethnic food. There are the standard Italian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Middle Eastern restaurants like you can find in the rest of the state, but you can also find Nepalese, Congolese, Afghan, Peruvian, and Jamaican food at restaurants, markets, and farmers market stands in Burlington and Winooski.

Drink
Northwest Vermont has a variety of drinking options. Burlington has many college bars and nightclubs as well as several brewpubs. Outlying areas are full of townie bars if you want to meet some locals. There are several local breweries whose offerings are worth a try: Magic Hat in South Burlington, Switchback in Burlington, Fiddlehead in Shelburne, and 14th Star in St. Albans. Switchback is a somewhat hoppy ale that can be found in nearly every establishment with a liquor license in Northwest Vermont. A pint usually costs $3-$4, which makes it the best value for money beer in the area. In addition to Switchback, most bars and restaurants will have an offering from Magic Hat (usually #9) and Long Trail (usually Long Trail Ale). With so many microbreweries based in Vermont, many bars and restaurants have a very limited selection of out of state beers. Then again, you didn't come here to drink Sam Adams. If for some reason you eat at a chain restaurant, they won't list local beers on the menu, but rest assured they have them. Vineyards and wineries can be found in the Champlain Islands and in southern Chittenden County. If alcohol isn't your thing, many towns will have a local coffee or tea shop.

Stay safe
There is very little crime in Northwest Vermont. However, the weather can make driving conditions hazardous in the winter.

North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire is a county in Yorkshire in northern England. Yorkshire was a huge county, the largest in England, so it was traditionally divided into three "ridings" which were later re-organised into four counties. So North Yorkshire is about half the area of Yorkshire, yet still the largest present-day county.

The terrain is a broad fertile plain running north-south, with moorlands either side that are scenic national parks: Yorkshire Dales to the west in the Pennine hills, and North York Moors to the east. It's always been agricultural. In the Middle Ages when wealth was founded upon agriculture, that made the area important, dotted with abbeys to farm that wealth and castles to defend it. When industry came, its towns grew but were largely unspoiled. Smokestack industry went elsewhere: to the textile towns of West Yorkshire, to the coal-mining areas to the south, and to the metal-bashing cities around the north and south fringes of Yorkshire. The towns of North Yorkshire haven't escaped modern sprawl and the hollowing out of high streets, but retain their pleasant character.

Cities, towns and villages

 * Top attraction in the county is the walled city of, long held by the Vikings, and today rich in atmosphere, amenities and visitor attractions.
 * Another top attraction is : it's small, though it has a cathedral and is actually a city. But the reason to visit is nearby Fountains Abbey.

The North York Moors and coast
The eastern part of the county is a plateau called the North York Moors, which are a national park. The moors reach the coast as cliffs, with little coves, and seaside resorts. From north to south these are: The Vale of Pickering sits between the moors, coast, Wolds and Howardian Hills. Historically fenland, all its settlements sit on slightly raised ground, mainly around its perimeter. These towns and villages are the gateways to the surrounding hills and moors.
 * with a ruined abbey, and vampire history.
 * is larger, being easier to reach by road and rail.
 * is where the sea starts to make serious inroads into the underlying rock. Here is the county border with East Yorkshire, the Wolds end with the magnificent spur of Flamborough Head, and the land slopes away to Bridlington.
 * is to the south of the moors. It has a 13th-century castle, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, and nearby is Rievaulx Abbey.
 * and its castle is a little further west, near the scarp of Sutton Bank.
 * is a lowland market town. It's near Castle Howard, a couple of abbeys, and an abandoned medieval village.

The Dales
The western part of the county is millstone and limestone moorland. The limestone has eroded into scenic valleys, the Yorkshire Dales, and much of the area is a national park.
 * , just north of Bradford, is a market town with a scenic castle.
 * is a good centre for walking the Dales and moors.
 * The best scenery around Settle is above the small village of, notably Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and the waterfall Janet's Foss.
 * , and  are three other small towns here.

The Vale of York
Between the two moorlands is a broad low-lying area of farmland, with meandering rivers and small market towns. The area has good transport, with the A1 and East Coast Mainline railway coursing through. From south to north the main towns are:
 * has an attractive abbey, with the original "Stars and Stripes": a stain-glass window with the Washington family coat of arms.
 * The City of York lies at the centre of this stretch.
 * is notable for brewing.
 * is a genteel place, a well-preserved spa town from the Regency and Victorian eras.
 * Next-door is its smaller sister, home to a ruined castle and a legendary witch's cave.
 * Ripon is just west of the main road and railway.
 * Just east is, where the author James Herriot practised as a vet.
 * is the administrative capital of North Yorkshire.
 * is still a pleasant place, but it's become engulfed by the nearby barracks town of Catterick, and various military camps and ranges.
 * lies under the Cleveland Hills at the north end of the county.

Industrial Teesside
Between 1974 and 1996 the towns around the River Tees were part of a separate county, Cleveland. This was then abolished and the towns north of the river were re-assigned to County Durham, while the towns to the south became part of North Yorkshire. They're industrial and frankly the least attractive part of the county: but if you had to be here for some reason, there's quite a lot to see and do. The main settlements are:
 * is a large town, with the Captain Cook Museum in Marton
 * is a small market town.
 * A coastal strip runs from Redcar to.

By plane
If you intend to fly in and hire a car (which you'll need for the Dales and North York Moors) then best choice is Manchester Airport. It's the other side of the Pennines, but it has excellent global connections and competitive fares. A couple of hours motoring from there will get you most places in the county.

Leeds-Bradford Airport has a decent range of flights from western Europe and is closer. If you want to base in the north end of the county near the border with Durham or Cumbria, then consider flying into Newcastle. The two other nearby airports, Doncaster Robin Hood and Durham Tees Valley  have few flights.

By rail
The central vale is on the East Coast main line. Trains from London Kings Cross take two hours to York. They continue north through Thirsk and Northallerton to Darlington, Durham, Newcastle and Edinburgh. From York, one branch line runs east to Malton, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington, while another runs west to Knaresborough, Harrogate and Leeds. A branch line from Northallerton cuts north via Yarm to Thornaby (for Stockton) and Middlesbrough. Other rail routes to Teesside are mostly via Darlington: from Middlesbrough trains continue along the coast through Redcar to Saltburn and down the Esk Valley to Whitby. From Leeds, a very scenic route runs northwest through the Dales to Skipton, Settle, Ribblehead, Appleby and Carlisle.

By road
The main north-south artery is the A1, mostly of motorway standard. The main east-west route is M62. National Express coaches run to the larger towns, with at least a daily direct coach to London Victoria.

Get around
The individual towns are all small enough to see on foot, and buses link the towns, though not very frequently once you get into the Dales and Moors. Beyond that, you start to need a car: from Harrogate to Harlow Carr is 3 miles, from Ripon to Fountains Abbey is four. You don't want to be tired and drenched before you even start. Scenic spots such as Malham Cove, and the trail-heads for most hiking, are further still from public transport.

The Moors are traversed by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, running 24 miles from Pickering via Grosmont to Whitby.

See
If you plan to do a lot of sightseeing, you can save money by purchasing the Visit York Pass, a ticket which gives you access to more than 25 attractions across North Yorkshire, of which around half are in the city of York. The pass also includes a 24-hour ticket for the City Sightseeing bus tour of York, a free Italian meal in York, and a guidebook and map.

A three-day pass for all participating attractions costs for one, two or three days (as of Feb 2024):
 * per adult £59/75/90
 * per child £35/45/55

The three-day passes are valid for any three days in a six-day period — they do not have to be consecutive days. You can buy online or in person at the visitor information centre at 1 Museum Street, York, YO1 7DT. When buying online, you can download your pass to your smartphone instantly and for free.

The pass covers the entry fee of every participating attraction, but does not allow you to queue jump or to have privileged access.

In order to get your money's worth, you should visit at least three attractions per day; if this sounds like too much, the pass is not for you. While the York attractions are mostly within walking distance of one another, the rest of the participating venues are spread far and wide across the county, so you should plan your itinerary wisely. Wikivoyage can help with that!

The Dales
The Yorkshire Dales have the best scenery in Yorkshire. The principal Dales are Wharfedale, Wensleydale, Swaledale, Ribblesdale, and Airedale within the National Park, Nidderdale which is outside the Park but designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and Lonsdale (added to the park in 2016) is in the county of Cumbria. If you've only time to see one, head up Airedale above Malham.

Abbeys
North Yorkshire has some striking examples of former abbeys, most of which were destroyed at the time of the dissolution under Henry VIII, although the nave of Bolton Priory is still intact because it served as the parish church.

 * Fountains Abbey — near Ripon - owned by the National Trust along with the neighbouring Studley Royal estate. These are possibly the most impressive remains of all and are a World Heritage Site
 * Bolton Priory — beautifully situated by the Wharfe with excellent walks and extensive area where children can play (as opposed to a 'play area!')
 * Byland Abbey between Thirsk and Helmsley in the North York Moors National Park
 * Easby Abbey — near Richmond on the Swale
 * Jervaulx Abbey — in Wensleydale below Leyburn - these remains are perhaps the scantiest
 * Rievaulx Abbey — one of the great Cistercian abbeys of Yorkshire with remarkable remains set in one of the most tranquil dales within the North York Moors National Park

Castles
Lots here, but they all ended up on the losing side: Yorkshire was mostly Royalist during the 17th-century Civil Wars. The castles weren't much damaged in the conflict, but the victorious Parliamentarians then had them "slighted" — partly demolished — to prevent rebels using them in future. So mostly they're just hollow masonry shells, some still imposing, many scrappy. You don't visit them for plush furniture and aristocratic fine art collections.

Exceptions to that rule are those built, or extensively rebuilt, at a later date. Examples are Ripley, just north of Harrogate (an 18th mansion house) and Hazlewood near Tadcaster (an 18th- and 19th-century re-build). Cawood near York and Hellifield Peel near Skipton have been converted to modern use.

In the "hollow but still imposing" group, thanks partly to the setting, are Clifford's Tower in York, Skipton, Pickering, Helmsley, Middleham, Bolton and Richmond.

There's not much left of Scarborough, Knaresborough, or Spofforth near Harrogate.

Do

 * Lightwater Valley — near Ripon, a theme park with Europe's longest rollercoast The Ultimate.
 * The Pennine Way long-distance footpath runs along the west of the county. The southern part around Skipton and Gargrave is low-lying, following the valley. Then it heads up over moorland towards County Durham. It's never technically demanding and seldom far from a road, so you can easily do it section-by-section as a Sunday stroll. Other notable paths are the coastal route between Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby, and the Cleveland Way looping round the North York Moors.
 * Go to the Races: Yorkshire has nine racecourses with regular fixtures, and five of them are in North Yorkshire: York, Ripon, Thirsk, Catterick and Redcar. (The others are Beverley in East Yorkshire, Pontefract and Wetherby in West Yorkshire, and Doncaster in South Yorkshire.) Most of the events are flat-racing, in summer, but Catterick is among those with jumps races in winter.

Eat
York has the best choice of eating places, both for variety and price-range. You'll always find something in the towns listed here, but the best restaurants are often out-of-town: you'll need a car, and a prior conversation about who's driving back. All of Yorkshire does breakfast, but North Yorkshire does the best dinners.

Drink

 * Beer: there must be a paperback novel and TV costume drama in this somewhere: rival breweries of the Smith family cheek-by-jowl. John Smith took over a long-established brewery in Tadcaster in 1847, then moved the business next door, eventually leaving the old building to his nephew Samuel. John Smith's grew into a large brewing combine, later acquired by Scottish & Newcastle and now part of Heineken. Meanwhile young Sam Smith started his own brewery in the old building, and this firm remains independent. You'll find the products of both Smiths everywhere.
 * Wine: Yorkshire has three commercial vineyards. They're at Ryedale (with sites at Westow and Howsham); Yorkshire Heart at Nun Monkton midway between York and Harrogate; and Leventhorpe on the east edge of Leeds, over the county border in West Yorkshire. Is Ryedale the most northerly vineyard in Britain? (More northerly claimants, e.g., in Orkney, don't use grapes.) It's certainly the most northerly in Yorkshire.

Stay safe
North Yorkshire is a relatively wealthy, peaceful place to visit and the crime rate is very low. Normal precautions still apply. Beware the weather on the hills: they're not high, but they don't need to be, they're on about the same latitude as Novosibirsk.

Go next

 * North is County Durham, with the attractive old city of Durham.
 * Yorkshire Dales National Park nowadays extends across the Pennines to adjoin the Lake District in Cumbria.
 * For big city attractions, head west to Leeds, south to Sheffield or north to Newcastle upon Tyne.

North Zealand

North Zealand (Danish: Nordsjælland) is a region in Denmark, in the northeastern part of the island of Zealand. More accurately, it is the area north of Copenhagen and east of Ise Fjord. One of the country's most affluent areas, with average property prices the double of nearly all other parts of the country, large parts of its population commute to the capital every day for work.

Talk
Talking is never likely to be a problem, neither will actually being understood by the locals in this part of the country. Nordsjælland is by and large populated by an affluent, highly educated, well-travelled elite - you might even get by in your snobbiest French up here.

Get in
If you have your own wheels, head opposite the morning commuters up the Helsingørmotorvejen (E47 & E55) or Hillerødmotorvejen (route 16) highways. Nearly all destinations in North Zealand are within an hour's drive from the capital.

On public transit, Kystbanen or "the coastal railway" is the best choice for destinations along the Øresund Coast, with stops in both Humlebæk for the Louisiana Art Museum and Elsinore for visits to Kronborg. S-train lines A (Hillerød), B (for Farum) and C or H (Frederikssund), leaves every 10-20 minutes all day, with local bus terminals at nearly all stations waiting to take you to other destinations. Hillerød in particular is the transit hub for the northern half of the region.

Get around
Hillerød station is the hub for a network of local railway lines covering the Northern part of the region. Trains depart every 30-60 minutes towards Frederiksværk/Hundested, Tisvildeleje & Gilleleje and Fredensborg/Elsinore. There is also a local railway running along the North Coast from Elsinore (interchange with Kystbanen) to Gilleleje.

See

 * The three major castles: Hamlet's Kronborg castle in Elsinore, Fredensborg Palace in Fredensborg, and Frederiksborg palace, baroque gardens and museum in Hillerød.
 * The world-class Louisiana museum of Modern art in Humlebæk, the most visited art museum in Denmark
 * Gaze at old classics instead at the Nivågaard Malerisamling in Nivå.
 * Rungstedlund, the museum of one of Denmark's best-loved and -known authors - Karen Blixen, of Out of Africa and Babette's Feast fame - in Rungsted.
 * The par force hunting landscape in North Zealand — the former hunting grounds of Danish royalty is now a UNESCO World Heritage site made up of nine components, mostly around Hillerød.

Do
Apart from viewing museums and castles, nature is quite attractive. The Øresund Coast has some very nice beaches, although they can be quite crowded in summer. Also, the forests are very nice with lots of old oak and beech trees. Gribskov is the second-largest forest in Denmark, and in summer the old art of charcoal burning is occasionally demonstrated. A vintage steam railroad operates in summer as well as around Christmas.

Eat
North Zealand has a good share of top-class restaurants, including some quite renowned inns. And apart from pizzerias and Chinese restaurants, eating is bound to be quite expensive in this area. Typical menus include high-class French cooking, Danish smørebrød and traditional Danish rural cuisine - often in some combination.

Drink
The regional beer Wiibroe is still almost exclusively sold in North Zealand, but like so many other brands it has been bought up by Carlsberg, and is now brewed in Carlsberg's central factory in Jutland. All is not lost, however: a small band of enthusiasts have started Klaregårdens Bryglaug  and taken up the old tradition of brewing in Elsinore, and "true" Wiibroe beer, brewed right next door to the original brewery in Elsinore, is now sold at the museum shop at Skibsklarergården. While Carlsberg-Wiibroe is sold in many supermarkets and bars all over North Zealand.

Stay safe
Few places in Denmark are safer than North Zealand, and indeed few places in the world are. In the forests, however, you may be bitten by ticks, and a fairly recent development is that some ticks now carry the more dangerous East European TBE (until the mid 2000s, Bornholm was the only area in Denmark where ticks carried this disease). That said, the risk of being bitten by a tick is minimal, and the risk of the tick carrying something serious is minimal too.

Danish healthcare is modern and efficient, although in some cases very bureaucratic and expensive. Usually you can simply rely on this, but if you consider serious hiking or trekking in forests of eastern Denmark, consider vaccination against East European TBE.
