THINGS TO DO IN SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA IN A DAY

I spent two nights in Sacramento on a tour with Globus Tours. (I was traveling on my own without Craig and the girls.) We had one full day of sightseeing, and experienced what I felt was a well rounded tour of the city. 

Here are my tips on what to see and do in Sacramento in a day. You’ll gain an appreciation of its history and modern eclectic culture that makes up its vibrant spirit today. 

Getting around Sacramento

This will allow you to see many wonderful murals along the way, as well as getting a feel for the heartbeat of the city, and perhaps stumble upon a few hidden treasures.  

Visit the State Capitol Building and grounds 

The California State Capitol Park and the World Peace Rose Garden on the Capitol grounds is a popular place to relax amongst the lush gardens.  

Located in Old Town Sacramento, the Johnny Cash Mural is a must-see for music fans. This vibrant mural pays tribute to the legendary singer and features images of his life and career.

For a great cup of coffee, head to Temple Coffee in Midtown Sacramento. This hip café offers a wide variety of coffees, as well as pastries and sandwiches for breakfast or lunch.

I loved wandering the streets of this neighborhood, soaking up the vibe, enjoying a coffee, shopping and exploring all the colorful and fun murals.
