| Travel Guide for Connecticut Should your travel ever bring you to the northeastern part of the nation, the bucolic and dainty New England will greet you at its front porch, Connecticut, with quintessentially treats of clam chowder dishes, exhilarating nautical pastimes, idyllic town-and-gown vitality, and idiosyncratic postcard fodders like covered bridges, steepled churches, white lighthouses, and pyrotechnic feast of fall foliage if you're coming right in the thick of the golden October. As the fifth of the original 13 colonies and the third smallest state of the country, Connecticut is jokingly labeled as an appendage of the New York City, and or the southern gateway to New England, either status approximating an embarrassing identity crisis. Although you cannot find it on the top or at the bottom of any charts, Connecticut surely is not without any distinctions that would suffice to offer good reasons for travelers on the road to slow down and linger around. Known for the penning of the Fundamental Orders, Connecticut is officially nicknamed the Constitution State. Also noted for the money and men it rendered to the Revolutionary War, Connecticut was given the title of "The Provisions State" by George Washington. Called otherwise as the Land of Steady Habits and the Nutmeg State, Connecticut seems to garner more public attention than you think. Connecticut's deep-rooted patriotic passion, crafty ingenuity and legacies of industrial manufacturing and literary intelligence spawned such figures of historical significance as Nathan Hale, a Revolutionary War hero, Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, Noah Webster, one of the most influential lexicographers in the world, and Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, two of the most distinguished writers in American history. All that history and culture, plus several action-loaded cities and the fun-filled coastline, are disguised by the Connecticut's most palpable feature: the predominant rural scenery and tranquility. There're industrial centers, historic sites, and enchanting farms and ranches dotting the alluring countryside of the Connecticut River Valley, rolling woodlands, wandering scenic trails, town greens, abundant antique shopping opportunities completing a Litchfield Hills experience, and sandy beaches, old-fashioned fun parks, seafaring towns and freshly prepared seafood showcasing highlights of Connecticut's seacoast. Featuring a compact, multi-layered lacework of cities of compelling history, towns of enthralling scenery and villages of intriguing heritage, Connecticut is very much a place with manageable diversity that justifies at least a weekend getaway. Some of the rural communities, like Windsor, are as placid and staid as they were some three hundreds years ago, while others are as snazzy and sophisticated as the New York City commuters, retreating millionaires and vacationing beachgoers can make them, most notably Hartford, the state capital, Bridgeport, the up-and-coming sports and entertainment destination of the state, Mystic, home to the ever-popular Mystic Aquarium, Mystic Seaport living history and Olde Mistick Village shopping, and New Haven, Connecticut's Creative Capital home to Yale University and the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine of the nation. It is in these cities that you can have loads of opportunities to get some of the best Connecticut luxury hotels, and the best-valued Connecticut hotels and motels as well. Wish to stay at full service Connecticut luxury hotels, with the alluring proximity to such top-notch attractions in town as the Old State House, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Bushnell Park and its Carousel, the Museum of Connecticut History, as well as Harriet Beecher Stowe House, Noah Webster House and Mark Twain House at Nook Farm? Mention can be made of Hartford Marriott Downtown. Look forward to staying in one of the budget hotels in Connecticut's family-friendly Bridgeport for the convenience of exploring the Barnum Museum, Beardsley Zoo, Discovery Museum, Bridgeport Bluefish Baseball Club, the Captain's Cove Maritime and Amusement Center, and much more? Look no further than Holiday Inn Bridgeport and the Camelot Motel. Feel like authentic New England historic inn in downtown Mystic with easy walking distance to all that this quaint resort community has to offer? The Whaler's Inn cannot be beat. Would rather avail hotels in Connecticut near Yale University, as well as its myriad of cultural offerings like Yale University Art Gallery, Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale Center for British Art, and Yale Repertory Theater? Be sure to reserve a room at the Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale. To crank it up a notch, there are still the gleaming casino-resort hotels in Connecticut. Rising Oz-like from Connecticut's storybook setting, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, which is said to be the world's largest casino, and the slightly smaller Mohegan Sun Resort Casino in Uncasville, are definitely the ultimate Connecticut luxury hotels you would ever find in the state and beyond.
