When speaking of California, the words modern, trendy and laid-back often come to mind. There�s not much thought for the area�s history, though. But the state capital, Sacramento, showcases both the region�s history and its modernity.
The best way to see Sacramento is to jump right in and do as the locals do for an authentic California experience. Coast along the American River Bike Trail, tour world-class museums, catch a show at Golden 1 Center or get out and explore Sacramento wine country.
Sacramento, capital of the U.S. state of California, lies at the confluence of the Sacramento River and American River.
