Sacramento is the capital of California and also one of its most historic cities. It is home to several landmarks of great significance. Old Sacramento, Sutter's Fort and other sites help understand the history and culture of the city.
Sacramento is situated at the confluence of the Sacramento River (from where it gets its name) and the American River. Visitors can therefore enjoy a range of activities such as swimming, boating and waterfront dining. Sherman Island is also internationally known to be a great windsurfing destination.
