- Experience Danish culture and architecture in Solvang.
- Feed giant birds at Ostrichland U.S.A.
- Spend time at the beach in Santa Barbara.
Solvang could be described as the most European city in America. The Danish settlement celebrates its heritage with Old World Scandinavian architecture and an authentic connection to its native culture and cuisine without chain restaurants or intrusive touristy gift shops. Solvang is just north of Los Angeles and a relatively convenient road trip from Las Vegas. Enjoy a few sights along the way, including detours to Santa Monica and Santa Barbara.
