Day Trips & Easy Getaways from the Litchfield Hills to Long Island Sound
Ready for a little time off? Connecticut is a little state that's big on fun -- and native Andi Marie Cantele has handpicked 52 weekend excursions from her own list of must-do trips throughout the state.
Because of its small size, Connecticut is one of the most easily traveled-to states on the East Coast and offers something for everyone: there's the cosmopolitan Gold Coast, the rural Quiet Corner, the sophistication and natural beauty of the Litchfield Hills, and the historic and lovely Connecticut River valley and shoreline along Long Island Sound.
This is a definitive guide to all that Connecticut has to offer the weekend traveler, full of insider tips on where to go and what to see throughout the seasons. It includes, naturally, the state's most famous landmarks (Mystic Seaport, Gillette Castle, Wadsworth Atheneum), and all are worth a visit. But find its best-kept secrets (historic gardens, ski jumps, seal-watching cruises) and you have a look at the real Connecticut, the kind of trips where visitors leave with a sense of place.
