The city of Sacramento, the capital of California, may be small in size, but it's big when it comes to historic attractions and outdoor activities. Famed for its cobblestone streets and old brick buildings, Sacramento is home to the California State Capitol and State Archives, the Governor's Mansion, and an array of museums, art galleries, and theaters. Sacramento is built right on the wide Sacramento River, perfect for boating and sailing. Other attractions include the Sacramento Zoo, the Folsom Lake Recreational Area, downtown shopping, and Old Sacramento's cobblestone streets. For nature lovers, there's plenty of hiking, biking, and camping in the nearby Sierra Nevada Mountains, as well as canoeing, fishing, and swimming in nearby rivers and lakes. With plenty of parks, walking trails, and pristine golf courses, Sacramento is truly a city of outdoor opportunities. There's something for everyone in Sacramento, from city sightseeing to outdoor adventure.
