Originally founded by the Danish community in 1911, Solvang is like stepping into Denmark for a few hours in the middle of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Known as the “Danish Capital of America”, it is an easy drive from Santa Barbara in California. This city reflects Danish traditions and style while offering its visitors seasonal events, strolls and some boutique shopping and dining experiences.
From vineyards to golf, Solvang will surprise you with an array of activities.
Care to bike or enjoy some pastries? Why not stare at the half-timbered architecture or a replica of the 19th century Danish streetcar?
Whether you have never been to Denmark or wish for a trip down memory lane, Solvang will satisfy that need when you hear and see the music and folk dancing, the Danish windmills and, why not? The statues of Hans Christian Andersen and The Little Mermaid, because of course, how could they go missing?
