Day trip from LA to Solvang 🚐🇩🇰
We’ve been trying to do more California road trips, so we decided last minute to take a day trip to Solvang! Ever since we traveled to Copenhagen last year, I’ve been wanting to visit the Danish Capital of America 🥲

The drive from LA took us about 2.5 hours without stops, and from the moment we got there, I felt like I was transported back to Denmark.

Here’s everything we did with the limited time we had:
🐦 Started at Ostrichland. Admission is $7, and feeding the ostriches is an extra $1 — which you’ll definitely want to do. It was our first time seeing ostriches up close, and feeding them was so fun! ostrich_land 
🚶‍♀️ Explored downtown, took way too many photos of the windmills, and were in awe of all the Danish-style buildings and homes
🍛 Tried the sausage platter at Solvang Restaurant solvangrestaurant 
🥐 Picked up pastries at Danish Mill Bakery danishmillbakery 
🌶️ Shopped at Solvang Spice Merchant, where Andy had way too much fun choosing his favorite spices
🚋 Hopped on a trolley tour inside Hamlet Square with Linda, which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip
⛪ Caught golden hour at Mission Santa Inés overlooking the hills of Solvang

Other things to do in Solvang: grab coffee at Good Seed Coffee, visit “The Little Mermaid” Fountain, go wine tasting, check out a bookstore, walk around Hans Christian Andersen Park, or visit the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art.

Since we got to Solvang later in the afternoon, a lot of the stores were already closing. I’d recommend giving yourself a full day to explore — or even staying overnight at one of their boutique hotels to really experience the best of Solvang 🌾✨

Is Solvang on your California bucket list?! 🇩🇰
