Miniatur Wunderland
Hamburg, Germany
The world’s largest model railway, with miniature cities, a working airport and a tiny Venice.
The Miniatur Wunderland is a huge model world in Hamburg (Kehrwieder 2). Lonely Planet rates it a “Top Choice” and writes that even sceptical visitors tend to become fans.
Model trains run through an Alpine landscape, and a model Airbus A380 lands at a fully working model of Hamburg's airport, the highlight for many. The shift from day to night takes about 15 minutes and is accompanied by more than 300,000 LEDs. Many exhibits can be triggered at the press of a button, such as plane take-offs or windmills.
Tip for planners: on weekends and during the summer school holidays, book tickets online in advance to skip the queues. Please check opening hours and prices on the website beforehand.
