- Hague, Holland.
L/S of the Hague Cathedral. Cars, bicycles and people can be seen around it. M/S of the roof of the Cathedral, clock tower is seen on the left. Suddenly, a man appears and starts painting a detail on the roof. Man is as tall as the cathedral's clock tower. This is model of the cathedral, a part of Madurdam - the smallest city in the world.
M/S of the streets of the little city. Boy's head appears over the rooftops. A girl comes from the opposite side. It looks as if the children's pictures are fitted into a cartoon - strange. M/S of the young couple walking around the streets observing the little buildings. C/U shot of the children's faces as they observe the model buildings.
M/S of a boy and a girl (older then the previous two) in Dutch traditional costumes, walking around the model city. The boy steps over a building to join the girl. They look at the little town. M/S of the two looking at the buildings. Camera tilts down to show the canal filled with water. M/S of the little boy and the little girl from earlier, holding hands looking at the buildings. The girl has her skirt lifted for a second as she scratches her thigh - very sweet.
Several C/U shots of the streets showing cars, people, carts etc. M/S of a little girl looking through the window, trying to see what is inside these model houses. Long panning shot across the city - it is huge! And even has a funfair and windmill. The city has all forms of transport made to perfection: railway with perfect trains, tracks signals; motorway with lights, tunnels, petrol stations, all sorts of vehicles; airport with radar, people on the roof terrace, aeroplanes, passengers; port with all sorts of boats, merchant ships, large passenger liners, naval vassals, docks; and at the end - it looks as if it has its own Gulliver. A man in traditional costume wakes up, stands and walks towards the camera becoming bigger with every step.

I've been there as a kid in the mid-seventies, so cool!
But back then you couldn't walk through the houses and railroads anymore like in the video.
The kids probably caused too much damage by mistake?
Anyway, it's a great place to visit, highly recommend! 👍🏻
OMG?!!... I'll never done see that place befire!!! 😲

The children in traditional dress (0:36) are now as much history as Madurodam's historical parts.
Por el nivel de detalles está ciudad es de verdad y perteneció a una civilización más pequeña creada por Dios, despierten patriotas saludos Q 🇨🇱🥰🇨🇱🥰🇨🇱🥰🇨🇱🥰🇨🇱🥰🇨🇱🥰
0:15 Reminds me of attack on titan
Colossal Titan
Life before the internet....
Princess Beatrix the mayor is now the queen of the Netherlands.
Actually, she retired in 2013. Her son Willem-Alexander is now king.
They made a UA-cam video 50 years before UA-cam was invented 😮
Which song up from 0:14? Thanks :)
A village where a single drop will cost alot of money
This is like Legoland in the 70s! Even though this might be slightly older
What happened to it
What gauge size are the model trains?
Original gauge was 56mm. After the Dutch cable factory (NKF) stopped supplying the bespoke drawn rail lenghts Madurodam changed over to the somewhat heavier LGB rail section. This gave a slightly narrower gauge so all the orignal rolling stock had to be re-gauged.
I just wanna go there and play Godzilla
Holland or Dutch my mometown
''Gigantic'' Gulliver INDEED. wink wink nudge nudge
