If this looks like Europe to you, you’re not the only one. But it’s actually in California, and it’s worth a special trip. This is a Danish-inspired town in Santa Barbara County, and it’s a fun place to explore, shop, and eat. It’s a great stop on a road trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco, too. Solvang is a sun-soaked slice of Danish culture in the Santa Ynez Valley, where California wine cellars mix with European bakeries and shops. It's where you can drink, dine and shop like a Dane without ever leaving the California sunshine.
