Stylization and creation of copies of cultural or historical objects in miniature are popular in modern architecture. In hotels, both the exterior and the decor of luxury rooms are designed in the style of cities - trendsetters. For example, in the hotel-park "Europe" in Belgorod, the suites are called "Milan", "Florence", "Rimini", etc.
Las Vegas already has its own Eiffel Tower, Brussels has its own Mini-Europe park with models of castles and other monuments in 1/25 scale. And in Freiburg, Germany, there is the Europa-Park entertainment complex, where you can relax and see miniatures of famous buildings thousands of kilometers away.
What does the entertainment center include?
You can find more than just slides in the park. There are more than 50 shops, 7 hotels and camping, there are cafes and restaurants of national cuisine, spa centers, a golf club and rental offices.
The complex is known for costume and theatrical performances, various thematic shows. In the Spanish zone you can seehow knightly duels are held, in Italian - the Venetian carnival, and in Russian there is a puppet theater.
Even in this block, the attention of vacationers is attracted by master classes of potters and other artisans in the ethnographic village. The complex also has its own version of the English theater "Globe".
The 4D cinema in the complex is also popular, where films about the life of animals are shown for children. Of particular interest to young guests are the Chocolate Land zone, the railway (it is arranged differently in each mini-country) and the Dinosaur Kingdom, created based on the materials from the Jurassic Park movie.
On the territory of the complex, television shootings are constantly carried out, programs are recorded. It is possible to organize conferences and other events of this kind.
The area is divided into 16 zones, of which 13 are dedicated to countries, and the remaining 3 are fairy-tale themes.
