Sacramento Travel Guide

The capital city of California, Sacramento has an abundance of outdoor activities, rustic scenery and fine-dining experiences.

Things to Do in Sacramento

Step back in time and wander through Old Sacramento to discover the city’s Gold Rush history, complete with wagon wheel rides, riverboat tours and underground guides -- perfect for a family day out. Alternatively, take advantage of the 200+ wineries located in Sacramento. The city gets the best of the famous California wine country. The majority of wine-tasting is free and visitors can get exclusive access to the wine-making process.

Elsewhere, see Sacramento’s green landscape via the 32-mile American River bike trail (also known as the Jedediah Smith memorial trail) which weaves along the American River and is world-renowned for its impressive sights and activities along the way.

Best Time to Visit Sacramento

Most festivals in the city take place on May and June, but travelers arrive in Sacramento as early as April to soak up all the location has to offer before the arrival of June’s extreme heat.
