attractions and cities of one of the main natural sights of the Connectivity is its proper appetite.

Come here just to enjoy leisurely walks, nature and the ocean, or to go on interesting hikes.

The western part of the state is mainly chosen for hiking. In most of the local cities you can find special hiking trails that run through the most interesting places. But be aware that some trails can be quite long. Therefore, prepare well for the upcoming journey.

Appalachian Trail

The Taconic Mountain Range stretches along the state line. It is part of the large Appalachian mountain chain. The highest point is Bear Mountain, 700 meters high. Hikers in the US can take the Appalachian Trail, or as the locals call it, the Appalachian Trail. This is one of the most famous hiking trails in Connecticut. It passes through several states and is a great place to relax and improve your health. The beginning of the trail lies in the state of Georgia, from where most of the tourists start along the route. Passing through seven states and huge mountain ranges, tourists find themselves in Connecticut – the end of the Appalachian Trail.

Metacomet Ridge

Another popular mountain route is through the Metacomet Ridge. It passes through the beautiful valley of the Connecticut River. The peak is located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level.

Long Island Bay

If you are not a fan of such active travel, then it is better to visit the southern part of the state. Long Island Bay has wonderful sandy beaches. Its coast stretches for almost 350 kilometers. This is a great place for a family vacation or spending time with good company.

Stratford National Helicopter Museum

The entire history of helicopter development from ancient times to the present day is presented here. Most of the exposition is devoted to the life and work of Igor Sikorsky, one of the pioneers of the helicopter industry. The museum even has a computer-based helicopter flight simulator. Visiting the exhibition is absolutely free, but if you want to leave a donation, then it will be accepted.

Hartford Attractions

Mark Twain lived in Hartford, Connecticut, not for too long, but it was the most fruitful period of his creative life. Harford is the state capital and quite a large city. Here Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and many other famous works. The museum itself is located in a remarkable large three-story building. It is made in the traditional colonial style.

After the death of the writer, the house was used as a school and later as a library. Around the sixties, a museum was founded here, and the building itself received the status of a significant historical monument. Regardless of the season or weather, the house is always visited by many tourists and travelers. In 2012, this museum was ranked among the best museums in the world. It works all week, ticket price is 19dollars per person.

You can also visit the Connecticut Capitol. Now the city administration is located here. The building was built of granite and marble. And the lining is made of gold. The Capitol became a historical monument in 1972. And next to it is a large public park Bushwell. This is a great place for leisurely walks and outdoor recreation with children. It also often hosts various theatrical performances and concerts. And in the park itself there is a small gallery of modern art.

Also in the capital there is a so-called sweat village – Mystic. Both adults and children will be delighted with this recreated historical monument. There are special aquariums with the inhabitants of the oceans and seas. Among them, huge whales, amazing fur seals and penguins should be highlighted. Fans of historical sights will appreciate how hard the seaport was restored. The staff tried to give it a unique atmosphere of the XIX century. There are even several sailing ships of that era moored in the port.

Farmington

Another interesting town in Connecticut. Here is the First Church of Christ. It was built in the middle of the 18th century. At first it was used as a meeting house. Climbing the steep steps to the high bell tower, you can see the Farmington spread around. Since the twentieth century, the church has been listed as one of the most important landmarks in the United States.

City of New Haven

This Connecticut city is home to the world famous Yale University and Art Gallery. It contains more than 200,000 different items of both historical and artistic value. Entrance to the gallery is free, the expositions are constantly updated.

And the university is one of the most prestigious in the US. Indeed, among its graduates are Nobel laureates and US presidents. The city is also notable for the fact that George Bush Jr., one of the presidents of America, was born here.

Peabody Museum of Natural History

Admission is $13 for adults, $9 for seniors, and $6 for children. The museum at Yale University presents a variety of exhibits that tell about the history of the development of the world and its inhabitants, there is also a diorama that tells about the nature of North America.

Gambling establishments

Connecticut is one of the few states that allows gambling. In the Connecticut casino, you can not only play, but also attend various concerts, sports matches and other events.

Getting there

The easiest way to get to Connecticut is by air. Flights are served by the state’s air harbors in Bradley and New Haven. The second airport has a much smaller flow of aircraft, but is also popular. Or you can fly to New York or Washington. And from there it is easy to get to the state capital – Hartford. Both routes are quite expensive and will take you about a day to travel.

To get from New York, you can take one of the trains heading to New Haven, and from there transfer to a bus or other train to Hartford. Such a trip can cost $200. You can also take buses numbered 2008, 2002 or 2022. Greyhound operates these routes. Tickets cost at least $45.
