Join Best Tours & Travel as we travel on a Copenhagen Getaway in Solvang.

According to the welcome booklet at the King Frederik Inn, Solvang — which means “sunny field” in Danish — was founded by Danish immigrants in 1911 on 9,000 acres. It was important to these immigrants to preserve their native culture, so they built a Danish folk school and a church — which was located at what is now the Bit O’Denmark Restaurant — and, in 1914, Atterdag College, which is now where you’ll find Solvang Lutheran Home. In 1936, Solvang had two very important visitors, the future Danish king, and queen, which got people more and more interested in the local colony. Interestingly, it wasn’t until 1946, after WWII had ended, that plans to create an authentic Danish village were brought to life.

Take a walk around this village — which boasts numerous restaurants, wineries, shops, and hotels — and feel like you’re traveling Europe even though you’re actually still in California. Feel transported to Denmark through Danish architecture (complete with windmills and thatched roofs!), food, and culture.
