Sacramento Tourist Attractions

While you’re staying in Sacramento, make sure to stop at some of the city’s top tourist attractions.

California State Railroad Museum

Sacramento was a base for the builders of the First Transcontinental Railroad, which connected California to the East Coast in 1869. The California State Railroad Museum has hundreds of railroad-related artifacts on display, including 19 steam locomotives built between 1862 and 1944. Learn how the railroad affected America’s history from the museum’s seven informative exhibits. 

California State Capitol

As the capital city of the State of California, Sacramento is home to the palatial capitol building. While you’re there, you can walk the grounds and admire the neoclassical architecture of the 140-plus-year old building, as well as various memorials and monuments. Inside the capitol, you’ll find a museum with a large collection of artwork from some of California’s most renowned artists. The museum offers free tours every hour, or if you prefer to go it alone, you can always explore the exhibits all by yourself.

Sacramento Travel FAQs

Yes, it definitely helps, although there are other options. Regional Transit buses and light rail trains cover most of the metropolitan area. If you’ll be traveling outside that area, you can look to Yolo County buses or even the Amtrak. If you don’t want to live by scheduled stops, a car rental opens up the entire area.

Sacramento is known as the City of Trees for its generous foliage and as the Farm-to-Fork Capital because of its growing culinary scene, influenced mainly by the local agricultural industry. The city is also associated with a rich Gold Rush history, which visitors can experience in Old Sacramento State Historic Park.

It depends on what you want to do, but many people visit Sacramento from April through September. The peak of summer brings the California State Fair in July, but it also brings sweltering temperatures. Winter is less crowded and generally mild, but there’s more rainfall and humidity.

Start your day with a visit to Old Sacramento to step back in time and picture what the city looked like in peak Gold Rush times. Get some unique shopping opportunities at Downtown Commons (DOCO). That afternoon, make time to unwind at the California State Capitol Park and the World Peace Rose Garden.

The trip down I-80 to San Francisco is just under 90 miles, excellent for a day trip to see the Golden Gate Bridge or ride the cable cars. If you’re flying into San Francisco, pick up your cheap car rental in the City by the Bay. Budget offers one-way car rentals, so you can schedule your drop-off in Sacramento.
