A giant for a day

Can you imagine a city where you can cross rivers with one step or where you can pick up a house? In Holland there is a place like that. It is a tiny city called Madurodam. It looks just like a real Dutch city – with one exception. It is very, very small.

Madurodam has got everything a real city has. There are houses and shops, one next to the other. You can see people in the street, cars on the roads, trains that move and ships in the harbour. There is even an airport there. The whole town is full of life.

Around this tiny city you can admire the beautiful Dutch countryside. There are canals, windmills and fields with little sheep, just a giant’s step away from the city center. All the beauty of Holland is in front of you.
