The world-famous miniature city Madurodam, which is located within a stone’s throw of Amsterdam and the bulb fields, is an excellent place to familiarize with all the surprising features the Netherlands has to offer. The Alkmaar cheese market, the Peace Palace of The Hague, the Royal Palace on the Amsterdam Dam Square, the Cathedral Tower of Utrecht, the canal houses of Amsterdam, and parts of the Delta works, everything Holland is famous for can be found replicated to the smallest detail on a scale of 1:25. All of this is set in beautiful flower gardens.
 
Windmills turn, tour boats move down canals, fire-fighters are extinguishing a fire in the harbor, modern trains traverse the city on the world’s largest miniature railway.

The shop has an extensive range of typical Dutch products and surprising souvenirs.

A visit to nearby Scheveningen Beach and the various museums in the immediate vicinity can be combined easily with a visit to Madurodam.

Madurodam: worth a visit year round!
