2. Roseville Galleria Mall > Arden Mall
There are two malls in this area. Arden Mall in Sacramento and Roseville Galleria if you are willing to take a 25-minute drive which I say is well worth it. Both of these malls offer what you need, a place to hang out, shop, and food. So if you are in the area, make sure to spend some time in the mall. I’d recommend Roseville Galleria due to the store selection, dining, and overall larger mall with a theater in it.
1. Visit Old Sacramento
Old Sacramento is located at the heart and downtown of Sacramento by the river. With beautiful scenery for pictures, you wouldn’t want to miss this for the gram. Many shops, eateries, architecture, Sacramento History Museum, a rail museum, bars, and a waterfront. That is why this is my number 1 pick and the most recommended place to go.
If you didn’t go to Old Sacramento did you really go to Sacramento?
