California State Capitol
Sacramento is home to the California State Capitol, a notable landmark and the heart of the state’s leadership. The building houses the chambers of the California State Legislature, made up of the California State Assembly and the California State Senate, along with the office of the Governor of California.
Old Sacramento
Old Sacramento is the riverfront historic district, with Gold Rush-era buildings, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages. It’s home to numerous museums, including the Sacramento History Museum and the state Railroad Museum, which offers excursion train rides. Souvenir shops sell T-shirts, movie memorabilia, and antiques, and there are several upscale restaurants and a few bars popular with the college crowd.
Downtown Restaurants
Sacramento is America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital, and that means it has fantastic food. There are more restaurants with high Zagat ratings in Sacramento than anywhere else in Northern California, and in 2019, the Michelin Guide added Sacramento as its fifth American city to be featured in one of its guides, bestowing honors on 14 Sacramento restaurants. Fine dining restaurants are nestled in historic buildings on blocks with art galleries, bookstores, and mom-and-pop shops. But it’s not all about the high-end eats. Ask any five Sacramentans where to get the best pizza or burger, and they’re all likely to give you a different answer – and you can bet it will be good.
