The state’s largest hospital, the University of Vermont Medical Center is also located within the city limits. Vermont’s largest airport, Burlington International Airport (BTV), is situated in the adjacent suburb of South Burlington, although it is owned by the city of Burlington. (Source: Wikipedia.org)
