This is the world's smallest city found in the Netherlands - Madurodam:
 |
| If I'm in the country with limited time, visiting Madurodam would be the best way for me to see all of Netherlands. All the sights of Netherlands are found here, only on a smaller scale. I'd probably be feeling like Godzilla while strolling in this place. |
Madurodam was built in 1952 and named after a student George Maduro, a Jewish from Curacao studying law in the Netherlands. He fought the Nazi ccupation forces as a member of the Dutch resistance and died at Dachau concentration camp in 1945. His parents donated the money to start the Madurodam project.
Here in Madurodam you can see virtually every building, every monument, palace, and tourist attraction (red light district, cheese market, various windmills, and much, much more) of the Netherlands that were recreated in miniature forms, including a railway, a highway, and the Schiphol Airport!
I will definitely write this all down in my wish-list!

Nice shot and effects. It would also be great for Calendar.
