Dulcinea's Insight
- Because of its proximity to New York, many trains and buses that arrive in Connecticut travel through Penn Station, Grand Central or the Port Authority in Manhattan. When booking train or bus travel to Connecticut, consider these locations as possible connecting points.
- We have not included lists to specific car rental, airline or bus companies as most provide service on a national level. To find specific companies, visit the findingDulcinea Travel Web Guide.
