The Constitution State, Connecticut is comfortably wedged between New York City and Boston. Although it’s one of the smallest states in the union, it still delivers on variety with a great choice of inns, restaurants, museums, galleries, shopping and spas.
As a result of its close proximity to New York City, Connecticut assumes some of the ‘Big Apple’ cosmopolitan chic while being able to still retain its distinctive New England character. The seashore is a delight – dotted with colonial villages set amidst beautiful beaches and coves; while inland, the countryside is easy on the eye with a landscape that is almost like England in places.
