Sacramento

Tucked along the Sacramento River in California’s Central Valley, Sacramento is a place whose character is shaped by its position at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers. As California’s capital, it combines government districts around the neoclassical State Capitol with a working urban core. Old Sacramento preserves streets and buildings associated with the Gold Rush-era riverfront, when the city became an important supply and transport centre. The riverfront setting also recalls Sacramento’s early vulnerability to flooding, a challenge addressed by raising parts of the historic city. Museums, theatres and farm-to-fork restaurants give the central districts a distinctly local rhythm.
