Sacramento: The River City

Known as the City of Trees, Sacramento, California, is a place steeped in history. Spawned in the wake of the California Gold Rush, the city is now renowned for its historic architecture. Orbitz.com can help you plan your journey, secure your accommodation, and book your flights to Sacramento right now, from home.

Sacramento International Airport

The Sacramento International Airport (SIA), located at 6900 Airport Boulevard, handles the majority of Sacramento�s flights. A mere 15-minute drive and 10 miles from the city, the SIA additionally features a wealth of art�enough to rival most museums.

Traveling to Your Lodgings

The majority of guests will travel to their accommodation via taxi. Fares will depend on distance but are usually in the range of $20 to $50. Several hotels offer free airport-to-hotel transit; you can check when you book. The SuperShuttle is another available transportation option. It is both reliable and fast, and it also offers personal door service; however, it comes at the steep price of $23. Those interested in a cheaper deal can board the Yolobus for $2, though the ride will take more than an hour to get you into the city center.

Sacramento�s Climate

Sacramento has a temperate Mediterranean climate featuring distinct seasons and hot, sunny summers. Winters have on occasion dropped down to 17�F, although typical minimum temperatures range from 39�F to 42�F. During the summer, however, most days will exceed 90�F; even 100�F is not uncommon. Thus, one should visit Sacramento in either spring or autumn, as summers and winters are generally too extreme in terms of weather to be fully enjoyable. September is an ideal time to visit, as it boasts a milder climate and the annual Californian State Fair. Nonetheless, Sacramento can be enjoyed any time of year; accommodation and indoor attractions often feature air-conditioning and other modern amenities.

The Attractions of Sacramento

As mentioned above, Sacramento is particularly famous for its historic attractions. Local museums are always a great starting point; try the wildly popular California State Railroad Museum or, for a creative touch, the Crocker Art Museum. If you�re craving a more personal taste of the city, arrange a visit with Educational Discovery Tours or Fast Eddie Bike Tours. Both offer a general overview of Sacramento and its history. Sacramento also hosts a variety of family-friendly amusement parks. The Raging Waters water park is ideal for teenagers and adults, while your younger children will love the imaginative and abstract Fairytale Town. Would-be shoppers can pay a visit to the Old Sacramento Historic District, which contains more than 100 boutiques scattered through museums and buildings dating back to the Gold Rush. While June and July are Sacramento�s most popular months for tourism, September is the ideal choice, as visitors then avoid both the heat and the crowds. Flights in September also tend to be cheaper due to it being an off-peak time.

Arrange Your Trip

Prepare for your journey to Sacramento with a hassle-free visit to Orbitz.com�your one-stop travel assistant. Orbitz.com can help you find cheap accommodations, organize your itinerary, and even book flights to Sacramento. Whether you�re just planning a relaxing weekend trip or an extended vacation, you�re sure to enjoy the iconic River City.
