Let’s say you are planning to decide where to go, anywhere in the United States, so why not Connecticut?
Now, if you are unfamiliar with the place or have no reasons why you should go there, you should continue this!
Let’s start with the basics and that is its location.
Connecticut is a U.S. state in southern New England, combining seaside cities and rural areas. It is situated between New York and Boston, making it quite convenient to visit both states if you are planning.
All right, I can understand some of you reader-folks are not interested in geography so let’s get to the statistics part of the city.
Now, one of the main reasons why you should be going to this place is because of its low crime rate. So, we know that safety always comes first and the fact that this state is the safest, with low crime rates, is quite strong why you should be going here.
But I am not yet done! Let me tell you more.
The state allows you to experience all four seasons a year, so if you are planning to visit during the winters or any other season, you still have a lot to do, and the weather will never disappoint or stop you from doing anything!
What makes the city exciting is how much you can do in such a compact state.
So, no matter how long you plan to stay in a rich cultured, and historical state, you will never get tired of this place. The places to visit are just a lot, with endless exciting activities and loads of fun.
So it’s time to tell you about the exciting places you should not miss out on in a compact YET fun place.
