Danbury Connecticut

INTRODUCTION

Danbury is located in southwest Connecticut along the New York border. This quaint city offers a variety of outdoor sports such as kayaking, fly fishing, and skydiving. My favorite thing to do when I’m in Danbury is to shop. In my opinion, they have the very best outlet malls!! Tired of driving? Just buy a ticket on a chartered bus and let them do it for you!!!

HISTORY

The settlement of eight families that moved to the area in 1685 meant the arrival of the first colonist to Danbury who came from the area that is now Norwalk and Stamford.

ATTRACTIONS

If you are in town, don't miss the chance to visit the "Military Museum of Southern New England" where life-size interior dioramas with military vehicles and equipment are exhibited. "Danbury Railway Museum" is another option if cultural vacations are your type of getaway. The "Danbury Museum and Historical Society" would be another choice to experience the 18th and 19th century decoration style.

RESTAURANTS

"IL Bacio Ice Cream LLC" serves the best ice cream in town and a delicious yogurt also. "Michael Angelo's Pizzeria" is the place to eat if you are craving for a tasteful slice of pizza as well as "Almonte Pizza Restaurant". You can go to "Izumi Japanese Restaurant" or "Pho Vietnam Restaurant" if asian food is your kind food.

LODGING

"Ethan Allen Hotel" offers rooms and suites decorated by Ethan Allen Home Interiors Designs. "Courtyard by Marriott Danbury" and "SpringHill Suites by Marriott" are two of the usual classics. "Comfort Suites Danbury" and "Danbury Plaza" are among other choices available.
