Amtrak Rail Passenger Terminal

Description:

• A block north of Downtown Plaza and within walking distance of several hotels, this is an excellent location from which to begin a Sacramento visit. Within the expansive interior with chandeliers branching widely under the high ceilings and solid wooden benches lining marble floors, paintings depicting the building of the trans-continental railroad are pleasant to admire while waiting for a train. Sacramento was the western terminus of the heroically constructed first railroad to connect the east and west coasts, making this station truly historic.
