Connecticut: An Explorer's Guide, 7th Ed.

Barnett D. Laschever & Andi Marie Fusco,
Principal Photography by Kim Grant

Welcomed and praised by newspapers across the state, Connecticut: An Explorer’s Guide gives visitors and residents alike detailed descriptions of attractions and little-known tips about the Nutmeg State. Veteran travel writers Barnett Laschever and Andi Marie Cantele again bring you authoritative advice on what to see, where to eat, and where to stay in the new edition of this trusted guide. Covering the state from the mountains in the north to the long and varied coastline in the south, from cities to backroads, this revised and expanded edition features extensive descriptions and detailed maps to guide readers effortlessly along many pleasant journeys for individual travelers and families. Historic and exciting Mystic Seaport, the rich collections of the Yale University museums, beach and skiing trips, and the many state forests and parks of Connecticut are just a handful of the attractions covered. Regional and downtown maps feature helpful icons and indicate places that are wheelchair-accessible, pet- and family-friendly, and of other special value.

Features include:

  • An alphabetical "What's Where" subject guide to aid in trip plan

  • 19 regional and downtown maps

  • Handy icons that point out family-friendly attractions, wheelchair access, special value, and lodgings that accept pets
  • "Comprehensive . . .well organized . . . should be carried in every glove compartment of every car that traverses Connecticut highways."
