Travel
to Connecticut
Connecticut is bordered on the south by Long Island
Sound, on the west by New York State, on the north by Massachusetts, and on the
east by Rhode Island.
The state, although small, has regional
variations in its landscape and culture from the wealthy estates of Fairfield
County's "Gold Coast" to the rolling mountains and farms of the Litchfield
Hills of northwestern Connecticut. Connecticut's rural areas and small towns in
the northeast and northwest corners of the state contrast sharply with its
industrial cities, located along the coastal highways from the New York border
to New Haven, then northwards to Hartford, as well as further up the coast near
New London. |
