Find cheap car rental deals in Sacramento, California
California’s charming, laidback capital may not have the glitz of Los Angeles or the monuments of San Francisco, but therein lies its appeal. Roam the museums and state parks of the city before driving into the surrounding countryside in a rental car to see as much of the charming region as possible.
Explore Sacramento: A Surprising State Capital
Sacramento has all of the attractions and history that befit a state capital, but without the crowds of California’s more famous corners. We’ve picked out some of the coolest spots in the city and surrounding region.
Downtown Sacramento
The city center of Sacramento is packed with architectural and historic attractions that are must-sees for many visitors. Drive around the area and park your rental car to explore the engaging California Museum, the splendid white State Capitol building and the glistening, futuristic sports stadium known as the Golden 1 Center.
Shenandoah Valley
Napa Valley, an hour west of Sacramento, is famous for its wines and scenery. Head east from California’s capital, however, and you’ll reach the much quieter but no less impressive Shenandoah Valley. Zinfandel is the key grape in the region – be sure to try a glass on a tour of one of the wineries.
Old Sacramento Historic District
Covering eight blocks west of Downtown, Old Sacramento looks and feels like a time capsule. Here, you can hop on river cruises, stroll around old-world shops or explore from the back of a horse-drawn carriage. Museums in the area cover topics such as the Wells Fargo bank, traditional schoolhouses and vintage motorcars.
