Cheap flights from Charlotte to Hartford from £150

Perhaps autumn isn’t a viable travel time. Just be aware that Hartford hotel prices in the summer months — particularly July — can be near double that of autumn and spring.

As with any city escape, lots of walking is often a daily occurrence. A comfy pair of shoes is invaluable in staving off foot pain. The last thing you want is to be wincing every time you’re out exploring what Hartford has to offer.

Hartford stamps itself on the gun-map of America due to the existence of local-born inventor Samuel Colt — the man credited with popularising the revolver. Wander around the Coltsville Historic District for subject immersion.
