All About Hartford

Although Hartford is most commonly known as the insurance capital of America, the city perched on the end of the Connecticut River has much more in store for visitors. On a Hartford vacation package, you'll discover a culturally diverse city steeped in history, epitomized in the Wethersfield district's scores of pre-Civil War homes, one of the oldest state houses in the country, and America's first public art museum, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, which also includes the very contemporary--and unconventional--Matrix Gallery.

History buffs will love touring the Harriet Beecher Stowe House and Library, the Noah Webster House, and the Mark Twain House and Museum. Kids love frolicking in the Children's Museum, which features a planetarium and a wildlife sanctuary. Plus, the stunning Elizabeth Park offers walking paths, picnic areas, a scenic pond, and a half-acre rose garden for those seeking a breath of fresh air.

On your Hartford vacation, you'll enjoy superb Italian cuisine (especially in the South End neighborhood), excellent Caribbean food, and an increasing number of trendy eateries. After-hours fun can be had in the city's many pubs and performing arts venues.
