Miniatur Wunderland Tourism

Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany, is the world's largest model railway exhibit, spanning over 1,499 square meters with more than 15,400 meters of track. This incredible attraction is located in the historic Speicherstadt district, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Miniatur Wunderland is not just about trains; it features meticulously crafted replicas of various regions of the world, full of animated cars, ships, and planes that come to life across different landscapes and cityscapes. The models include the Swiss Alps, Hamburg, the Scandinavian countries, the USA, and the fictitious city of Knuffingen, famous for its fully functional airport. With over a million hours of work invested, the exhibit includes 263,000 figures, more than 9,250 cars, about 1,040 trains, 130,000 trees, and 3,660 buildings. Opened in 2001 by twin brothers Frederik and Gerrit Braun, the exhibit keeps expanding with new sections and updated technology, ensuring repeat visits are just as exciting as the first.
