Travel and Lodging

Travel to and from Solvang can be a little tricky. We highly encourage renting a car. The closest airport to fly into is Santa Barbara Airport (SBA). There are shuttle services from SBA to Solvang if needed. We would recommend taking the coast, Highway 101, to get to Solvang from Santa Barbara. Solvang is a very walkable, cute, and extremely safe town. You do not necessarily need a car to get around, but you still might want a rental car to check out surrounding areas like Santa Ynez or Los Olivos. Our Wedding Shuttle will be picking up at the Vinland Hotel parking lot. You will be able to walk to the Vinland from any of the hotels listed in this section. Please reach out to us if you have any questions!

Flight

Santa Barbara Airport

SBA is going to be the closest airport to fly into. Although flights are limited, you can usually find a connecting flight heading to Santa Barbara from most major airports. You will need to rent a car, but the drive is only about 45 minutes to Solvang.

Flight

Los Angeles International Airport

LAX is another good option for flights. Although the drive is a bit longer, you will have many more options for flight times and connections. You will need to rent a car from here and drive about 3-3.5 hours to Solvang. DO NOT BOOK WITH BUDGET RENTAL CARS! We have heard some horror stories about this particular LAX Budget location. It is no good!

Flight

San Luis Obispo County Airport

Another airport option! You will need to rent a car and drive south from SLO. However, the drive is only about an hour and fifteen minutes if you do not want to deal with the LA traffic.

Train

Amtrak Train

There is an Amtrak train that runs from LA Union Station up to Santa Barbara. This is not a bad option if you do not want to drive through LA traffic. You will still need a ride or a car to transport you from Santa Barbara to Solvang.
