St. Albans: An Adventure with Nature
St. Albans, Vermont is a city sitting at the Franklin County and surrounded by the town of the same name, St. Albans Town. It is about an hour from the most populated city in the state called Burlington. The settlement in the area dates as far back as the late 17th century. From farmlands, the city then became known for being a railroad city to now a tourist and holiday destination. Whether it is indoor or outdoor you are looking for, the city has indeed a lot to offer
Best Time to Visit
There is a huge difference on the weather throughout the year over at St. Albans. It is warm during summer yet freezing cold and snowy during winter. As most attractions in the city are state parks and outdoor areas, it is best to come in town during summer between June and August. However, these happen to be the wettest and busiest months for the town so do not forget to bring an umbrella. St. Albans hotels have higher rates too. The Vermont Maple Festival is a celebration held every year during April.
