Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau (Website)

You have discovered one of America’s best vacation and business destinations. Welcome to Connecticut’s River Valley and to our State Capital: Hartford — New England’s Rising Star!

Imagine a region with big city sophistication, along with the charm and splendor of the countryside, sparkling rivers and shoreline, centuries of history and culture, and a seemingly endless array of interesting sights to enjoy.

We are located along the Connecticut River, which winds its way from the Long Island Sound over hills and rolling valleys, through Greater Hartford and to the Massachusetts border.

In any season, this is a picturesque and exciting location. It’s easy to get here. Hartford is just a 2-hour drive from New York or Boston. Bradley International Airport — gateway to Southern New England — is just minutes from the Capital City. Our region is part of the AMTRAK system and is home to a number of major bus lines.
