Madurodam – A Miniature City and Local Monument

Madurodam is one of the most popular attractions in Scheveningen, in the Netherlands, and was established as a charity foundation as well as to create awareness as a war monument.

It is not every day that one has the opportunity to visit a town that has been built on a 1:25 scale, and where the greatest effort has been given to small details, such as vehicles, lights and villagers.
