Connecticut features hundreds of unique attractions. ItŐs the place where Mark Twain, renowned author, made his home in 1874. Come along and be inspired by his literary spirit when you visit his magnificent home in Hartford. Connecticut is also home to one of the worldŐs great seats of learning, Yale University. Our state is a place where you can visit a postcard perfect Colonial town green, step onto a 19th century ship, ride on the greatest wooden roller coaster and take in the action at our two world class casinos. And while youŐre at it, stay at a charming inn, tour wineries or visit with penguins and beluga whales.

In fact, there is so much to see and do in Connecticut that we have compiled 52 Getaways - one for every weekend of the year - themed according to specific interests or geography, family time or just for two.
