Old Sacramento Waterfront

Spent the morning walking through while waiting for a flight. Area was lovely to walk around, and we enjoyed the short history bulrups. Along the corners. They were informative , but Short Which kept me from feeling like I was reading a novel. Down side to be there in there early in the morning shops were not open yet. However, there's a lovely coffee shop one could get breakfast at to kill time while you wait to shop.

Visited the Sacramento waterfront on a Sunday in August around midday and it was great! Not too crowded, clean, and easy to get around with our stroller. We found parking in just five minutes, had a nice patio lunch (perfect with the baby), checked out the train museum, and even picked up some gifts from a Peruvian shop. Highly recommend for a relaxed family outing!

We stopped in old Sacramento on our way to Lake Tahoe and had lunch and walked around the town. It was a wonderful experience. The little town was so cute and great little shops. Definitely worth stopping here one of the best capitals I have been to. It was a great way to break up the trip and had a wonderful time.

Visiting the Old Sacramento Waterfront felt like stepping straight into the Old West. With its wooden boardwalks, vintage storefronts, and preserved 19th-century architecture, the entire area oozes historic charm. It’s a beautifully maintained district that brings Gold Rush-era California to life in a way that’s both authentic and fun. The area is easily walkable, making it perfect for a relaxed afternoon of exploring. There’s a wide variety of unique shops, candy stores, souvenir spots, and interesting museums, plus a great selection of restaurants and bars — whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or a sit-down meal with river views. Old Sacramento is more than just a tourist spot — it’s an experience. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or just looking to enjoy a scenic stroll, this riverside district is well worth the visit. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Sacramento area!

Went during a nice warm evening. Had dinner on the Delta King which was very nice. The breeze was nice and cool, the vibe chill. There were several smaller boats with fancy lighting sailing around the river. The majestic Ziggurat glows in the backdrop.

A great place to take your family or out-of-town guests to relax while exploring the Capital City's history. It's a magical feeling to drive a modern EV imported from Vietnam over a brick road built in the 1800s for horse-drawn wagons. My wife and I enjoyed walking along the boat docks from the Delta King to the other side of the golden Tower Bridge. There are many shops, waterfront restaurants, and even the California State Railroad Museum if you love old trains.

We walked around in the middle of the night so as you would expect it was an eery feeling but also very peaceful at the same time. It's actually pretty great that they have security securing the place. What's really needed in this area is a public restroom that is open during the nights

I Absolutely Love Old Sacramento! So many places and businesses to go visit and see everything there is to offer! Love the Historic buildings, Railroad Museum, The Waterfront by the Sacramento River, Love Joe’s Crab Shack and other restaurants there. There is also Coffee shop I recently found, and Ice Cream Shops! Still more places to Explore and Shop! Wonderful Tourist Spot for out of towners as well Definitely a place to have fun walking around, shop, and see the sites!
