For me the best part of Sacramento is its residential part. Rarely I see such a perfect combination of beautiful architecture dawning in greenery and a peaceful atmosphere.

I started my trip with the tour of the Governor’s Mansion. With the rich history behind, the place is like a time machine where you can see the transfer of style from Victorian to the 50s turquoise kitchen. 

Leland Stanford Mansion was just as impressive if not more. Unfortunately no photography is allowed inside. 

As for the mere mortals, they have nothing to complain about. The regular streets are full of old charms.
