The Sacramento Visitors Bureau is the go-to place for out of town visitors. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Pick up a brochure or a map. Make a list and enjoy your day.
The Crocker hosts more than world class artworks. While you can peruse art from just about every era, and approaches of all media and styles, you can also simply enjoy a fabulous space. The cafe, indoors or out, is a great place to refuel after wandering the galleries. Learn about the area or find a quiet spot that suits you for a relaxing respite. Families and friends meet here often. The bookstore is worth a good look, too.
Sacramento is known as the City of Trees. When autumn comes calling, all of those wonderful trees that line the sidewalks form mid-town to downtown Sac put on quite a color show. It's free, it's impressive, and all you have to do is walk a bit. While you are walking and enjoying this amazing spectacle of fall, stop in for a coffee at one of the fabulous cafes, or grab lunch. Do bring your camera, as this really is a full palette of fall colors all just waiting for you .
On the mighty Sacramento River is a reminder of what Sacramento looked like long ago. Old Sacramento is a very well-preserved and maintained part of Sacramento's history. In autumn, with the weather cooling and the trees showing off their vibrant colors, this is a premier place to walk, shop and enjoy. Find out the reason that the streets were raised, creating a very real underground Sacramento. Visit the railroad museum, wander though the streets, have a bite to eat. Sit on the promenade and simply have a great time relaxing by the river in all its autumn glory.
While you're here, it just makes sense to visit the Capital. Not only is it an impressive building, the area around it is superb. Take your time walking through the Capital grounds. Stroll through the amazing rose garden, stop at the memorials and enjoy the area. The trees and bushes are all marked so you'll know what you're looking at. Sit on a bench, relax. Your camera will get quite a workout. When it's time to grab something to eat, your choices are varied, very good, and very close. It's a fine way to finish off your day in this wonderful city.
