Solvang On Your Own

Discover the beauty, culture and history of the Danish-themed town of Solvang during a four-and-a-half-hour excursion. After boarding your comfortable coach travel through picture postcard scenery of verdant hillsides and acres of sun-soaked vineyards. Upon arrival, you'll have three hours to explore on your own. Browse through one or more of the 150 one-of-a-kind shops, stroll past beguiling buildings built in "bindingsværk," a half-timbered construction style that dates back to Denmark's 16th century. Take in the sights like the replica of Copenhagen's famous Little Mermaid statute. Visit the Hans Christian Andersen Museum, which displays original letters and photographs, a model of Andersen's childhood home and early editions of his work. Or enjoy a taste of Denmark with a helping of aebleskiver, a light and airy pastry. At the completion of your tour, reboard the coach for the scenic ride back to your ship.
