Madurodam
Madurodam presents Dutch buildings and landmarks at 1:25 scale, offering a concentrated overview that suits visitors who enjoy models and national geography.
Why go
The miniature city makes architectural differences and the relationships between Dutch landmarks easy to compare at a glance. Its name also carries a serious history: George Maduro fought in the Dutch resistance and died at Dachau in 1945. That origin gives the playful display an unexpected memorial dimension.
What to look for
Buildings and landmarks appear at a consistent 1:25 scale.
The attraction opened in 1952.
George Maduro, Madurodam's namesake, was a Curaçao-born member of the Dutch resistance.
Useful to know
Combine Madurodam with Scheveningen rather than the Binnenhof cluster; it lies in the coastal district.
