sacramento

The capital of California, Sacramento is an interesting blend of history and culture. Home of Sutter’s Fort, named after Swiss pioneer John Sutter; Sacramento was the focal point of the California Gold Rush. Today the Old Sacramento area of the city offers a great tourist attraction with cobbled streets, restored or preserved buildings, historic trains and paddle steamers. Step into the history of the old west, gold rushing and pioneer spirit.

Beautiful mansions, opulent event centers and unique hotels make Sacramento weddings just perfect. Sacramento offers more than 750 hotels, resorts and event venues. Spas and golf complexes as wells as retreat and vacation destinations are available in this scenic city.

To see the city from an insider’s lens pop into the blog hosted by West Sacramento’s Photo of the Day site. Rich in the cultural fabric and everyday moments, the site offers an archive of local images.
