Connecticut is a small New England state which is full of charm, rural beauty and has several major cities.
The State's top tourist attractions include Yale University, which maintains numerous world-class museums, Mystic Seaport, the restaurant and night life in downtown New Haven, The Maritime Aquarium, and two major Native American casinos.
Like most of New England, the weather in Connecticut is varied with the seasons. It can be highly unpredictable in the spring and fall months. The weather in Connecticut is generally stable compared to many other parts of the country. Dangers that plague many regions of the country (e.g., tornadoes, mudslides, earthquakes, etc.,) are not a danger here.
