Connecticut

A small southern New England state combining colonial-era towns, Yale University and the scenery of the Long Island Sound coast.

Connecticut lies in southern New England, bordered by Long Island Sound to the south and situated between New York and Boston. New Haven is home to Yale University and is also known for its distinctive thin-crust pizza; Mystic preserves a seaport museum and maritime traditions; and the capital, Hartford, has the Mark Twain House. The village towns of the Litchfield Hills in the northwest are enchanting in autumn foliage. Summer and fall are the best times to visit. You can arrive via Bradley International Airport, or take a train from New York to the coastal cities.
