Amtrak

Sacramento’s Amtrak train station is located immediately adjacent to Old Sacramento.  The walking distance between the Sacramento train station and Old Sacramento is about two city blocks.  As you exit from your train or bus, look for the large, green Interstate Highway bridge overhead (to the west of the train station).  Walk towards the bridge, and look for the “Old Sacramento” banners.  A striped walkway leads directly from the Amtrak passenger platforms, west under the highway bridge, through a parking lot, to historic Old Sacramento.

Parking

There are two parking garages in Old Sacramento.  The closest to the Sacramento History Museum is located at 2nd & I Street.  There are also a limited number of metered, 90-minute on-street parking spaces throughout Old Sacramento.
