Look for the sign of the Solvang Antique Center - 65 quality dealers |
While the scent of Danish pastries wafting
from any one of Solvang's eighteen bakeries may attract the visitor the
first time--the area's natural beauty, live theatre, wonderful new
restaurants, horse ranches and wineries, the town's 350 unique
retail shops and great antique stores--keep the visitor, as well as
locals, coming back time and time again. |
Travels through California wouldn't be complete without a stop in the charming European village of Solvang. Located in California's beautiful, unspoiled Central Coast region just 30 minutes north of Santa Barbara, Solvang was founded by Danish immigrants just after the turn of the century. Today this small, old world community is one of California's most popular tourist attractions, attracting three million visitors annually from around the world with its unique, friendly atmosphere. |
The area's largest and most prestigious
antique shops is the Solvang
Antique Center, now in its twenty year of
operation. Located
right in the heart of the shopping village, the
Solvang Antique
Center features 65 carefully selected, quality antique
dealers
in the historic Old Mill Shops building. The award-winning
building provides a unique shopping environment, with natural
lighting
from arch top windows and skylights and museum-style
display cases, with
thousands of decorative and specialist items
mixed throughout the
furniture galleries.
