Downtown Sacramento

Sacramento's central city is composed of the downtown and Midtown neighborhoods and has a high concentration of restaurants, bars, attractions, parks and the SAFE Credit Union Convention & Performing Arts District. Downtown is the bustling metropolitan hub of the region, and nearby Midtown is a trendy cultural hub with plenty of eats and drinks, and an eclectic mix of architectural styles, coffee bars and art galleries. On the western side of downtown is the Old Sacramento Waterfront, with historic buildings, wood-plank sidewalks, museums, the Sacramento River and charm from the Gold Rush era.

Arden Arcade

The biggest features of the Arden Arcade area are the Cal Expo Fairgrounds, which also houses the Sacramento Republic FC soccer club's Papa Murphy's Park, and the sprawling Arden Fair Mall, which houses numerous national retailers, restaurants and is surrounded by a host of other restaurants and developments. Hotels in Arden Arcade have convenient access to downtown Sacramento via Highway 160 and Interstate 80, as well as access to East Sacramento and North Sacramento. Ethnic restaurants on Fulton Boulevard draw locals and visitors alike, providing a culinary cross-section of Sacramento's diverse population.
