Heads up

Summer afternoons get really hot

Plan outdoor stuff for mornings. 100°F+ days are common.

Hidden gem

Tower Bridge at night is beautiful

Golden lights on the river. Nice walk after dinner in Old Sac.

Food & drink

Marie's Donuts is worth the drive

Old-school shop, huge apple fritters. Go before 10 before the good ones sell out.

Getting around

Rent a JUMP-style e-bike for downtown

Flat city and short distances. Easy to get between Midtown and the river.

Hidden gem

American River Parkway bike ride

Rented bikes downtown and rode toward Folsom. Flat, shady, and you see herons everywhere.

Food & drink

Midtown farm-to-fork scene lives up to the hype

Brunch on J Street was fresh and cheap compared to SF. Second Saturday art walk is a fun night too.

Heads up

Old Sacramento is fun for an hour, not a day

Boardwalk is charming but it's mostly candy shops. The railroad museum is genuinely worth it. Then head to Midtown for actual good food — R Street corridor was our favorite evening.

Triple digit heat — plan anything outdoors before 11am

It hit 104 the day we walked the riverfront and we regretted it. Mornings by the Tower Bridge are lovely, afternoons belong to the Crocker Art Museum and air conditioning.
