Connecticut
is a state of marvelous contrasts and a great vacation
and getaway spot. It's a magical mix of bucolic stone
walls, rolling meadows, gentle mountains and quaint and
historic seaports. It's also urban, its primary cities
being Hartford, the state capital, New Haven, home of
Yale University, Danbury and Stamford, which offers city
living in and of itself and, in the case of Stamford,
as a bedroom community to New York.
From Connecticut's crisp and inviting shoreline to its northern
border, the state offers many activities and attractions.
It's also a historical treasure trove with any number
of sites, buildings and museums that offer wonderful
gimpses back to the very early days of American history,
well before the American Revolution.
It is well known for its
many historical sites, its beaches, which border Long Island
Sound, and its remarkable urban and bucholic mix. The southern
part of the state is primarily urban, while upstate, with a
few exceptions, such as Hartford, Waterbury and New Britain,
the setting is rural.
