Take it easy. Plan a relaxing trip filled with vibrant views, amazing arts, and delicious dishes – all bringing chill vibes and interesting experiences.
Start your trip with views of awe-inspiring art at a world-class art museum — the oldest continuously operating public art museum in the country, to be exact. Check out a collection of nearly 50,000 works of art spanning 5,000 years.
Head to the stunning fuchsia arches at Elizabeth Park Rose Gardens to stroll the picture-perfect landscape. Nearby, take a meditation or mindfulness course at Copper Beech Institute. Then grab a bite at Max’s Oyster Bar, Sparrow, or Zohara in West Hartford Center.
That night, catch a show at Hartford Stage, renowned for producing innovative revivals of classics, as well as provocative new plays and musicals. After, rest your head at The Goodwin Hotel or Marriott Hartford Downtown.
The next day, explore Historic Wethersfield, home to artifact-rich museums, historic homes, and shops.
Grab a coffee at Heirloom Market at Comstock Ferre, step back in time at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum, and dine at award-winning restaurant, The Charles.
Savor a lavish dinner and waterfall view at Millwright’s Restaurant – and expect to be wow-ed by Chef Tyler Anderson’s creations. But first, stop for a drink and chill vibes at Talcott Mountain Collective. Then, grab farm fresh ice cream at Tulmeadow Farm. At night, rest your head at The Simsbury Inn.
Go to the shore and start your next morning with a little R&R. Privé-Swiss Wellness is the first facility on the East Coast to offer a personalized integration of clinical mental healthcare services within a holistic approach to wellness. Enjoy massage, acupuncture, pilates & yoga classes, and Craniosacral therapy.
After, hang out in seaside Downtown Essex and explore shops, restaurants, and galleries. Take a cruise by RiverQuest, grab a bite at Carlson’s Landing, and enjoy drinks and live music at Scotch Plains Tavern.
End your escape on a high and check into gorgeous waterfront resort, Saybrook Point. And while you’re there, soak in the sun by the sea and a to-die-for meal at Fresh Salt.
