Miniature World

One of the must see sights in Hamburg is Miniature World.  Located in a three-story building, the miniature scenes are primarily of cities and towns in Europe (plus Las Vegas and Miami Beach).  Trains run throughout the villages, buildings light up, and every 15 minutes the lights are dimmed and you see the scenes as though it were night.  I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen anything on this scale with such attention to detail.  Las Vegas at night looked just like you see on the Strip.

I particularly liked the Hamburg airport, complete with a Lufthansa jet taking off from one of the runways.  Also notice that the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars is parked on the tarmac.  Next month Santa Claus will start popping up in some of the scenes.

Here is the Neuschwanstein Castle in southern Germany.  It served as a model for Disney‘s Sleeping Beauty castle.  Paul and I visited here a couple of years ago and it‘s a beautiful location on a lake.

So many things to take in!
