We’re not saying you’re a gold digger, but you’re not messing with…a city that doesn’t have a rich history of mining for metallic fortunes. And it’s true: The Gold Rush brought loads of people west to Sacramento once upon a time, visions of nuggets dancing in their heads.

These days, though, a holiday to California’s capital has more to do with liquid gold (a glass of Chardonnay, anyone?) and tours of stately government buildings. After you’re done touring quaint downtown boutiques and exploring the river system, lastminute.co.nz’s hotels in Sacramento welcome you to relax in style.

Things to Do in Sacramento

Put on your hard hat, party people. Not only does it make you look more interesting, it puts you in the right spirit for a visit to the Old Sacramento State Historic Park. Learn about gold mining and imagine what it would have been like to dwell in California during the fever pitch of the infamous rush (less surfing, more black lung).

When you’re ready to return to the present, take a tour of the Capitol building and browse a farmers market. When you book Sacramento holiday packages, you’ll have plenty of cash left over to participate in the city’s Second Saturday tradition—a walk through the art galleries of Midtown. We’re not saying your DIY art pieces aren’t cutting it, but feel free to pick up something new for your living room walls.

Getting to and Around Sacramento

Most holidays to Sacramento begin with a flight into Sacramento International Airport (SMF), which is just 16km from downtown. Once you get settled into your Sacramento accommodation, you can get around by bike, hired car (from lastminute.co.nz!) or the local bus and light rail system. The downtown district is very walkable, so please do us a favour and order the second chocolate lava cake for dessert. You’ll be burning it off on your evening stroll.

The best time to book Sacramento hotels on lastminute.co.nz is right now, didn’t you hear? Before you know it, you’ll be rubbing elbows with California’s political elite and exploring the best of NorCal.
