Sacramento is buzzing with things to see, taste, and savor. Sacramento is America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital, brimming with farm-fresh restaurants, abundant farmers markets, home-grown breweries, vibrant street murals, Gold Rush-era family attractions, and of course a plethora of river-related entertainment that includes water skiing, sunbathing, and floating on inflatable zebras and rafting trips along the river.

Sacramento is the U.S. state of California’s capital city and is also the largest city of Sacramento County, located in Northern California’s Sacramento Valley, at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers.

Sacramento is the state’s political center and a hub for lobbying, and it features the California State Capitol Museum because it is the seat of the California Legislature and the California Governor.  Sacramento’s 2020 population makes it the sixth-largest city in California and the ninth-largest capital in the United States. It is also the fastest-growing major city in California, owing to its status as a notable financial center on the West Coast.

Sacramento is also a major educational hub – it is home to California State University, American River College, Sacramento University, Lillard Hall, and the University of California in Davis. Similarly, Sacramento is a major center for the California healthcare industry, as the seat of Sutter Health, the world-renowned UC Davis Medical Center, and the UC Davis School of Medicine. It is a tourist destination, featuring the California Museum, Crocker Art Museum, California State Railroad Museum, California Hall of Fame, and Old Sacramento State Historic Park. Sacramento International Airport, located northwest of the city, is the city’s major airport.
