The world's largest miniature airport has gone on display at Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany.
The model airport is based off of Hamburg's Fuhlsbüttel International airport. The display took 7 years and roughly $4.8 million to build.
The model includes a whopping list of accessories, including 40 planes, 40,000 lights, 15,000 figurines, 500 cars, 10,000 trees, 50 trains, 1000 wagons, 100 signals, 200 switches and 300 buildings. The figurines move autonomously via computer.
Luggage, carts, staircases and carparks are also featured in the 1,615 square feet display, which also showcases a variety of planes from Airbus A380s to Cessnas. See more http://youtu.be/Qz4NcTnQedo
Miniatur Wunderland is also home to the world's largest model railroad landscape.
Hamburg boasts 31 theatres, 6 music halls, 10 cabarets and 50 state and private museums. Of the 4,000 restaurants in Hamburg, 2,400 offer foreign cuisine.
The banks of the Elbe and the Alster rivers are perfect for a stroll. The port sight-seeing trips are impressive and offer a special perspective on the panorama of Hamburg.
Right in the heart of the city, there is a large lake: the Alster. A boat tour on the Alster ends in the city centre, where one can shop or simply relax in a street café. Hamburg's modern busses and underground trains (S-Bahn) will take you anywhere fast and for a small fare.
So Pack your bags and go to Hamburg!
