There is a good reason why Greenwich is considered one of the best places to live in the States. Established in 17th century, only half hour train ride from New York City, Greenwich is a charming, sophisticated town on the coast of Long Island Sound. It is a great place for a romantic weekend in one of the quaint Victorian B&Bs, or for a short trip with the kids to see sea turtles or otters at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. Art lovers will enjoy visiting the Bush-Holley house, the home of the first Connecticut art colony and once the center of American Impressionism. The Bruce Museum is a curious mix of art and science exhibits. Greenwich Point Park is a delight, with miles of hiking trails, a fine sand beach and spectacular view of New York City's famous skyline.
