The world's largest model railway, filling several floors of an old warehouse with incredibly detailed miniature worlds: Hamburg, the Alps, Scandinavia, Italy, the USA and more, with working airports, trains, ships, cars and thousands of tiny scenes. Day turns to night every 15 minutes.


It's one of Germany's most popular attractions, for adults as much as children. Book a time slot online to avoid long queues. It's in the Speicherstadt, the red-brick warehouse district on the canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
