Things to do in California

tree in Sacramento's capitol parkSacramento is a vibrant city! Art and history museums, a lively arts and dining scene, and top-class shopping enrich the City of Trees. Shaded by the largest tree canopy in the United States and cut through by the American and Sacramento Rivers, California's Capitol is a place of natural beauty, culture, and history.
