It’s no secret that visiting the Berkshires has been on millions of travelers’ bucket lists for decades. Nor is it a secret that much has been written about this sub-section of the Appalachian Mountains, spanning northwestern Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. A quick Google search for the word “Berkshires” returns roughly ninety-six million results.
Travelers are irresistibly drawn to this serene four-season region, a haven that welcomes 2.5 million visitors annually. This figure, though seemingly high, is a testament to the region’s charm, not a sign of over-tourism. The Berkshires is where you can escape the hustle and bustle and truly unwind. With its 31 towns and two cities, the area is nicely spread out, offering ample space for everyone to find their peaceful corner.
