Things To Do When In Sacramento California
Geographically located at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers, Sacramento is a city of over 400,000 inhabitants. From an economic standpoint, California-s capital is a core cultural and economic center with a food industry among the most productive of the state.
The most picturesque place to visit is undoubtedly the Old Sacramento section, an area of six blocks between the river and the modern city, home to many shops, restaurants and museums.
Worthy of visiting are the Schoolhouse Museum, a typical example of a Californian school at the end of the 1800- s and the Delta King Riverboat, a hotel housed in one of the last riverboats of the Sacramento Delta.
Other intriguing attractions are the Discovery Museum, an exhibition boasting relics of the 19th century located in the former municipal offices of the city, the California State Railroad Museum, featuring a large collection of locomotives and wagons impeccably restored, the Eagle Theatre, offering a faithful reconstruction of the theater built in 1849 and the Pony Express Monument, a monument celebrating the 1,900 mile long messenger route from Sacramento to St. Joseph.
The most interesting site of historic Old Sacramento is the California State Capitol, which nobly stands at the center of a huge park and is ultimately one of the most beautiful buildings in California.
