You see 300 models of about 80 cities and sites in a quite unequalled craftmanship.
and off we went to "jump" through Europe !
Each country had a sign explaining since when they became part of the European Union, the number of inhabitants and the currency. Mostly Euros of course except Danmark, UK and Sweden.
It's nice to sit besides Big Ben
It really looks as if it was true, and not a miniature !
Here we are in Dover
Then the connection from Europe to the UK
There are always something to paint or repair
Unfortunately I can' t remember the names of all these buildings
But here we arrived in Germany
The ancient captital Bonn
and Berlin from both sides west and east
The city hall of Leuven (Belgium)
Amsterdam
and then we arrived in Paris
Monmartre
Spain was freshly repainted and I thought it would be a good idea to go on some holidays to Mallorca.
The tower of Pisa in Italy
Venice
Austria
and Greece.
After 1 1/2 h we had visited Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK !
How nice would it be if I could see all these countries and cities on a cruise ! I should contact med cruises information and prices.
Mini Europe Video
or Mini Europe film
I got a view of this from Atomium, didn't have time enough to do a detailed tour. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThis was really an interesting post!
ReplyDeleteThank you sharing it!
That certainly beats the "Europe in one week" tour!! Let me shortly add on behalf of Spain that it is the oldest bullring and it is in Sevilles. More info here and more pictures here. Thanks for the tour!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. The details on the models looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way of learning about Europe, we used to visit miniature villages with our daughters but nothing as interesting as this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place - such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat tour!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWow what a tour. Those miniatures really are very well made.
ReplyDeleteCan you buy the national food too?
ReplyDeleteA lovely tour and lovely memories!!! I hope the Mini Europe will continue as long as possible as we heard the end this fabulous park should arrive in the near future! It's a nice way to learn a lot about Europe in a short time! I share your post on FB as I know some french people will be very interested to read it!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fabulous !
ReplyDeleteWonderfully enlightening and entertaining post. If it were not for bloggers and post like yours I would never get to see the world.
ReplyDeleteThose models are fantastic. I loved seeing all the castles.

Even if it's a mini-Europe, it's still very creative and even educational - if you don't have the time or money to travel around to see the places in real life. I think Pisa and Venice is my favorites, maybe because I so want to go there...
