By Bus
Greyhound and Bonanza operate daily buses between New York City, (Port Authority Bus Terminal), New Haven, Hartford (Union Plaza, map) and Boston.

Greyhound has almost hourly departures all day and most of the night; Bonanza has the next most departures.

The trip from New York to Hartford takes about 3 hours, depending on the line and the number of stops en route.

By Car
Hartford is at the junction of Interstate highways I-91 and I-84 (map). Hartford is very much a commuters' town, and traffic is very heavy at rush hours.

The best day to visit the city is Saturday, when most everything is open and parking is easily available. On Sunday many places are closed.

By Air
Hartford is served by Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, 12 miles north of Hartford (map). Buses leave the airport for downtown Hartford and for Springfield MA, and limousines shuttle from Bradley to most cities in Connecticut.

By the way, the Connecticut Aeronautical Historical Association operates the New England Air Museum at Bradley Airport, with over 70 aircraft, plus engines, accessories, and memorabilia, on display.
