Things to do in Sacramento

Sacramento runs on state government. The Capitol, dozens of state agencies and the lobbyists, trade associations and law firms that work with them keep a steady stream of officials and executives moving in and out, especially while the Legislature is in session. Health care is another major employer, with Sutter Health headquartered in the region and UC Davis Health downtown, and the surrounding Sacramento Valley is one of the most productive farming regions in the country, which is why the city calls itself America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.

    California State Capitol Museum

    Free tours lead through the restored 19th-century Capitol, its rotunda and historic offices, and the surrounding Capitol Park holds memorials, mature trees from around the world and a rose garden.

    Old Sacramento Waterfront

    Gold Rush–era buildings along the Sacramento River now house shops, restaurants and museums, with wooden sidewalks, riverboat views and the golden Tower Bridge nearby.

    California State Railroad Museum

    In Old Sacramento, the museum’s restored locomotives and railcars tell the story of the transcontinental railroad, which began its eastward climb over the Sierra from this city.
