Getting There

Visitors can fly into New Haven airport or Hartford airport (45 minutes by car). Alternatively, take the Metro North from New York City’s Grand Central Station (about two hours; $14 each way). Also, Amtrak connects New Haven to cities along the Northeast. A room in a three-star hotel averages about $173 per night, compared to $106 per night for an Airbnb.
