What to do once you've arrived in Hartford? The choice is yours. As with most historical cities, Hartford is bursting with cultural experience. Take in some of the history at the Old State House, which offers tours and unique exhibits; visit the Mark Twain House; or stroll through the Museum of Connecticut History, which offers free admission and makes for a great way to spend the afternoon. Art is also aplenty in Hartford, and visitors can get their fill at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Real Art Ways gallery, and the Amistad Center for Art and Culture.
Hartford also offers plenty of conventional traveling indulgences. Shopping, dining, and nightlife can be some of the most enjoyable ways to experience the city and try some new things.

Or, visit Charter Oak Landing and enjoy a brunch, dinner, or moonlight cruise aboard Lady Katharine Cruises. If you're more of a sporting mind, Hartford has golf courses, tennis courts, and plenty of places to run or cycle while you're in town.
Thanks to Hartford's central location within the state, exploring other areas of Connecticut can be easily incorporated into your visit to the capital city. New Haven is just 45 minutes south, Waterbury is 30 minutes to the southwest, and Bridgeport is only an hour away and rests right on Long Island Sound.
