The Old Sacramento Waterfront quarter is the best place to explore the city’s rich heritage.

Among the most interesting destinations in the area is the California State Museum, located at the northern edge of the quarter. It offers numerous restored locomotives as well as exhibitions on the United States’ westward expansion.
