"Our vision has always been to create a place that enchants people of all ages and encourages them to dream," said Gerrit Braun, joint founder of Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. The world's largest model railway attracts over a million visitors every year. Tiny models of entire landscapes and cities have been created along with a VR tour. The attraction has now topped the ranking for the sixth time.
