Old Sacramento is the riverfront historic district, with Gold Rush-era buildings, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages. It’s home to numerous museums, including the Sacramento History Museum and the state Railroad Museum, which offers excursion train rides. Souvenir shops sell T-shirts, movie memorabilia, and antiques, and there are several upscale restaurants.
Sacramento’s Downtown Commons (DOCO) is the region’s newest shopping destination. Located in the heart of downtown Sacramento, you can’t miss it, as it houses Golden 1 Center, the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, and enough food and drink places – and we don’t mean your typical for court – that you’d need at least several weeks in the city just to try them all.
