Many visitors from Denmark say Solvang is more Danish than Denmark.
This is a gracious and
well deserved compliment, for the people of Solvang
have worked hard to preserve the rich
heritage of the original eleven Danish
families who pioneered this new frontier in 1911. The generations since then
have cherished and developed the magic ambience you'll experience
here in California's Copenhagen.Simply walk the center of town and take in the seductive old world ambience. You will become acquainted with dozens of interesting shops, restaurants and bakeries that you'll want to revisit later. One of the most popular year-round sports in Solvang is shopping; you can cover the entire village without ever moving your car. Sampling the fine local restaurants, cafes and bakeries and wine-tasting are other high points for visitors, along with live theatre, golf, lake sports, hiking and house hunting.
If you would like to create a special event of your own, from a car club or corporate meeting to your own golf tournament or fairytale country wedding, we'll be happy to help you plan a memorable experience.
