Lonely Planet review for Mini-Europe

Over 350 miniature scale models (all 1:25) depict some of Europe's best-known architectural highlights, such as the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (which took 24,000 man-hours to create), London's Big Ben, Lisbon's Torre de Belem and Paris' Pompidou Centre; with various moving features like little railways, and even a cross-section of the Chunnel.

It's a fun way for kids (and kids-at-heart) to brush up on European geography, and the models are true works of art. On some weekend nights in summer Mini-Europe opens to midnight and has musical fireworks displays; call for dates.

    Tacky but good fun

    sarayna recommends this,

    The models are very well done, with the top few sights from every european country and about 10 from Belgium. I thought it was a good place to decide where to visit next! They also give out a booklet with information about all the countries and the momuments you can read as you visit each 'mini country' so is quite educational.
