Hi, I’m Eric from the channel Eric Đi Đây Đi Đó, a travel & lifestyle content creator. During my journey exploring California, Solvang was a place that truly stood out and left a lasting impression on me. Founded in 1911 by Danish immigrants, Solvang feels like a small piece of Europe right in the heart of California. From the traditional half-timbered buildings and pointed roofs to the iconic windmills, bakeries, and cafés, the village has a unique charm that’s both beautiful and peaceful. I walked slowly through the streets, taking in the atmosphere. Families enjoying their weekend, visitors stopping for photos, and a relaxed pace that makes you want to slow down as well. Solvang isn’t loud or rushed — it’s the kind of place you visit to unwind and simply enjoy the moment. As a content creator, I travel to many places and film many beautiful scenes, but Solvang isn’t just visually appealing. It gives you a sense of pause — a chance to step away from daily deadlines and pressure, and just breathe. If you’re looking for a gentle getaway where you can walk, take photos, enjoy coffee and pastries, and spend quality time with family, Solvang is absolutely worth visiting. — Eric Đi Đây Đi Đó Travel & Lifestyle Content Creator Exploring real places, real moments 🌿

I only heard of fame, but this is my first time stopping by, and it's so beautiful. European-style buildings and small souvenir shops. And restaurants and bakeries were enough to excite me. I strongly recommend you to visit.

Definitely one of the more iconic buildings of Solvang that lets everyone know where you are. Be sure to see it in both daylight and lit up with Christmas lights at night if you’re visiting around that time of year

A little town just north of Santa Barbara, where you can enjoy a little bit of Danish architecture and culture without leaving the U.S.

I visited the Solvang Windmill during Christmas, and it was absolutely magical! The whole town was beautifully decorated with festive lights, and the Windmill added the perfect touch of charm and holiday spirit. It felt like stepping into a European Christmas village. The area around the Windmill was lively, with cheerful music, local treats, and cozy shops. It’s such a picturesque spot—perfect for photos and soaking in the holiday atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting during the Christmas season for a truly unique and festive experience!

There's something about visiting a city that has been formed into a small village.It is like going back in time in a different country experience of joy laughter and even the friendliness of new faces. Each store has such warmth and hospitality inside. Always gets the feeling of come back and see us again. We enjoyed your company.

It's a beautiful town and the people are friendly. The town is built in the Dutch era
