The colonial charm of Hartford, the venerable Yale university
campus and vast coastlines make a visit to Connecticut something
special. The state of Connecticut is located in the northeast
of the country and is part of New England. The landscape is
characterized by a wide forest and hilly landscape; in the east
there are numerous sandy beaches along the coast. The so-called
Constitution State is roughly the size of the state of
Schleswig-Holstein and home to around four million people.
Attractions
Hartford is the largest city in the state with approximately
125,000 inhabitants. Located directly on the Connecticut River,
the state capital impresses with many colonial buildings -
including the Armsmear Memorial, the former estate of Samuel
Colts.
Connecticut is also famous in the United States for its
well-known educational institutions. Combine a stop in the
coastal city of New Haven with a stroll through the venerable
campus of the world-famous Yale University and finally relax on
one of the beaches near the city. In Connecticut, for example,
the Kent State Park impresses with its landscape with several
waterfalls in the middle of forests.
Travel tips and best travel time
Since there is no international airport in Connecticut itself, a
connection via New York or Boston is recommended. These two
cities are approximately 170 kilometers from Hartford. The
climate in the northeastern United States is temperate, with the
winters becoming very cold and snowy. The best time to travel is
therefore especially spring, when the landscape is particularly
green.
