About Sacramento

A proper farming town turned state capital, Sacramento is a hugely intriguing city of contrasts, and a wonderful Californian destination. With an excellent foodie scene, a burgeoning creative community, and a fascinating architectural fusion of period charm and glittering glass-and-steel, there's plenty to attract eager visitors. The city's growing range of accommodation includes cosy B&Bs and luxury hotels suitable for a whole host of budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Sacramento are close to the centre of town and the original settlement of Sutter's Fort -- perfect for exploring.

If you're into farm-to-fork fare, you'll find yourself spoilt for choice in a city brimming with lively cafés, farmers' markets and top-notch eateries. Savour the best of California's produce with a locally-brewed craft beer or a glass of wine from the state's world-class vineyards. Visit the California State Capitol, stroll around the heritage buildings of Old Sacramento State Historic Park and pop into some of the city's many museums for a sense of its complex past. Highlights include the California Museum, the Crocker Art Museum and the California State Railroad Museum. There are art galleries, quirky boutiques and a brilliant programme of artsy events to experience, too -- do take the time to find out what's on during your trip. To top it all off, the Golden 1 Centre, home to the Sacramento Kings, has to be one of the best places in the country to catch a game of basketball. Book a ticket and get in on the action!

Whether you're dreaming of a romantic B&B, a swish contemporary hotel or a weekend of old-school grandeur, the best places to stay in Sacramento promise a warm welcome in the heart of a brilliantly buzzing city.
