Solvang
The village of Solvang in California is more Danish than anything you will ever find in Denmark.
Founded in the early twentieth century by a group of Danish educators, Solvang is undoubtedly the Danish capital of California, and probably of the entire USA. Home to Danish shops, bakeries, even æbleskiver!, and replicas of famous Danish monuments such as Rundetårn and The Little Mermaid, Solvang is a must-visit destination. Map.
