Connecticut for Single Female Travelers Last Updated 7/16
Connecticut offers all kinds of exciting destinations for solo travelers. In fact, every cultural institution, outdoor attraction, restaurant, accommodation and other summer destination extends a welcoming hand to women traveling alone (and men, too, for that matter). But some places seem more suitable than others, especially for women looking to stretch themselves a bit either physically or mentally.
