City Guide

Sacramento, California, United States

Best Time to Visit

April-June and September-October for mild weather and outdoor events.

Local Tips

Biking is popular due to flat terrain and extensive trails; check out the local farm-to-fork restaurants. Public transit is available, but having a car is convenient for exploring.

Hidden Gems

Find the McKinley Rose Garden in East Sacramento, explore the Crocker Art Museum's lesser-known collections, or stroll the artisan shops of R Street Corridor.
