Connecticut

The Constitution State

With its beautiful coastal drives, world-class museums, renowned attractions and rich history, Connecticut offers a charming New England feel with a cosmopolitan style. Connecticut is filled with postcard scenes on the water, resplendent fall foliage, stunning architecture and inviting farms and vineyards. For couples there are romantic and luxurious B&Bs like the Mayflower Inn and Spa, or the Bee and Thistle Inn, acclaimed restaurants, fine wineries, and boat rides along the Connecticut River.

Families and kids love theme parks like Lake Compounce, the acclaimed Connecticut Science Center, aquariums and the family-fun filled Mystic Seaport. Adults can test their luck at the world-famous Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Resort Casino and take in exciting live entertainment. History and culture buffs will marvel at the historic homes like the Florence Griswold House and the Hill-Stead Museum. Renowned art and famous architecture can be found throughout the state, from Yale University in New Haven to the Mark Twain House in Hartford and Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan. Travellers enjoy Connecticut because they can create any kind of holiday experience they want.
