Madurodam - The Mini Holland

Madurodam - The Mini Holland

Baby Attack!
Madurodam is a park filled with miniature peoples and buildings. If you’re lazy to travel around Holland, you could just come here and see all the famous buildings and places in this country. Cool eh?

Photos taken during my honeymoon trip to Holland. Madurodam is situated in Den Haag (The Hague) city, Netherlands.

And they even feature Malaysia Airlines Boeing-747 in their mini Schipol International Airport!

If you wonder how does the park look like from the sky, here’s Google Sighseeing’s shot.
Madurodam from the Sky

Windmills turn, tour boats move down canals, fire-fighters are extinguishing a fire in the harbour, modern trains traverse the city on the world’s largest miniature railway. The modernised shop has an extensive range of typical Dutch products and surprising souvenirs. A visit to nearby Scheveningen Beach, the various museums in the immediate vicinity, can be combined easily with a visit to Madurodam.

  2. Wuching: No I didn’t. But I did stepped into their miniature zone, which is prohibited, just to snap pics. One of the visitors saw us and she shakes her head in dismay. O.o

  4. Che-Cheh: They’re fixed onto the floor. They won’t tumbang. Unless a tsunami or a cyclone hits, else they’ll be okay.

  7. Bryan: Yeah, FTW?! Stay-tuned, there’s more coming :D

    Neo: Indeed it is, and the weather was cold. Being in Netherlands is like, being inside the pictures you saw hanging on the walls of restaurants. So picturesque and surreal.

    Alex, do you think so? I was in the Netherlands in April this year and i hated it. The only place that i like was Goathorn. That was it. To me, it is the European version of China. Very dirty.

    Have you been to Austria and Switzerland? they are much much better and that would be called “picturistique”!
