CONNECTICUT
Best Time to Go & Visit & Travel to Connecticut New
Haven, Yale, Stonington, Mystic Seaport and Hartford, NE
Connecticut is, largely, a
northern extension of
New York. But its south eastern coast has interesting historic
places, and the city of New Haven, with its big attraction pole,
the Yale University, is justifiably a major tourist attraction.

WHAT TO VISIT IN CONNECTICUT?
The Connecticut state's
capital - Hartford - has few motives of interest for travelers.
The most interesting places to visit in Connecticut are its
South-eastern coast, and New Haven.
Connecticut south-eastern coast
Connecticut coastal zone west Stonington include many historic
small whaling villages and ports. Mystic Seaport - a restored
nineteenth century village - and the fishing village of Stoning
Borough are good examples of this part of Connecticut.
New Haven and the Yale University
The Yale University, in New Haven, is a major travel
highlight in Connecticut. It includes several guided tours to
local museums, libraries, galleries and art centers.

Connecticut
weather - as the
weather of New York and the weather of New England in general - is
very changeable, with moderate precipitation all over the year,
and brief heat waves in summer and very cool weather in winter
or even in the early spring.
Snow is concentrated in the winter
months.
Late-spring - May, June – or
late-summer and early-fall – September, October
are excellent months for visiting Connecticut.
Fall's foliage spectacle causes many thousands of weekenders to
demand New England. So, avoid Autumn's weekends, if you want to
avoid crowds.
WHEN NOT TO GO TO
CONNECTICUT
Humidity and high
temperatures may turn some days of July and August uncomfortable.
Avoid also the winter
months, when temperatures may attain very low levels.
