I spent a weekend in Solvang, California, one of the best Christmas towns in the US, and it transported me to Europe
- I went to Solvang, a small California town known as the "Danish Capital of America."
- With traditional architecture and replicas of monuments in Denmark, I felt transported to Europe.
- Solvang is full of holiday spirit and feels like one big European Christmas market.
Known as the "Danish Capital of America," Solvang's cuisine and architecture have turned it into a popular tourist destination.
And while the temperature in December rarely dips below 70 degrees in central California, Solvang has continued to earn spots on lists like "The Most Magical Christmas Towns in the US."
With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to plan a weekend in Solvang — and was transported to Europe.
