Sacramento is one of the largest cities in America with a fairly rich historical heritage. Not a single visitor has yet remained indifferent after visiting the capital of the "Golden State".
In the place where the American River flows into the Sacramento River, the capital of the famous American state of California is located. The city was founded back in 1848 by the son of a Swiss immigrant - John Sutter.
Sacramento, as the capital of the "Golden State", has taken the place of one of the most popular tourist destinations. By the way, the modern city was literally raised several meters in order to avoid constant floods.
Until now, streets, basements and unfinished houses, which are, at the moment, a whole system of tunnels, remain hidden from view.
For those wishing to plunge into the history of the city, the City Museum is open. He has a fairly wide exposure associated with the very complex and exciting history of Sacramento. The museum itself is located in the Capitol building. Ideal in terms of architecture, the complex is surrounded by a rather picturesque park.
The pride of the city is the Sacramento Railway Museum, which in turn surpassed any other in the world in terms of the brightness of the atmosphere and the vastness of the exhibits. An excellent view of the city, the city lighthouse will give its visitors. It remains only to master several hundred steps of the ancient twisted staircase.
Sacramento contains more than eighty parks, but one of the most beloved, both for locals and tourists, is William Land Park. With a total area of more than one hundred hectares, the park contains an incredible number of centuries-old alleys, a huge golf course and a zoo.
For art lovers who are tired of endless walks in numerous parks, the capital of the state of California offers to visit a ballet (with a local ballet group) or a classical music concert performed by a symphony orchestra. For connoisseurs of fine arts, the Crocker Art Museum is the place to be. Back in 1869, banker Edwin Crocker and his wife Margaret Crocker decided to collect a whole collection of paintings during their trip to European cities. And in 1885, after the death of her husband, Margaret gave the family collection to the city of Sacramento.
In addition to historical buildings and numerous parks, the city has many places that will gladly welcome guests tired after long walks. Various bars and cafes, of which there are a huge number in the city, will help you to relax. For food lovers, the restaurants serve Californian, European and Mexican cuisines and offer a huge selection of Californian wines.
