Overview
(edit)
Sacramento is the capital of California and has been cited as one of the most livable cities in the state. It's often called "The City of Trees" because it has the most of any Californian metro area. Parks, shops, schools and gathering places have emerged as part of the city's urban renewal program. Neighborhoods have become pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Bus and light rail provide service within the city and to surrounding suburbs. The Tower Bridge is a popular landmark and the Sacramento River provides hours of recreation for boaters, rafters and kayakers.
Old Sacramento is the most popular neighborhood with restaurants, shops, and historic buildings. Hiking and biking trails along the American River provide 26 miles of nature and its beauty.
