@postcardnews

Steeped in Gold Rush history, the Old Sacramento Waterfront is much more than a tourist spot—it’s a living district of independent shops, museums, and riverfront attractions that locals frequent for its unique charm. Recognized by the Michelin Guide and The New York Times, the area is home to the California State Railroad Museum, riverside dining, and lively festivals. Wooden boardwalks and preserved 19th-century buildings set the stage for exploring boutiques, galleries, and the city’s storied past. Visiting at sunset offers stunning views of the Tower Bridge and the Sacramento River.
