Amsterdam Travel Guide

Madurodam

Located around 30 minutes outside of Amsterdam in The Hague, and first opened in 1952, Madurodam is quite literally the smallest city in the Netherlands, featuring hundreds of miniature Dutch structures. From the houses and factories that reflect real Amsterdam architecture, to the little railway system that winds its way around the Madurodam, children will be captivated by the sheer genius of this little city. For a small cost, usually just a few cents, parts of the miniature models will actually start working, such as trucks moving down the little highway and planes landing rolling down the little runway at Schiphol Airport.
