The Swiss Miniature Park is located in the town of Melide, south of Lugano. It is the only miniature park in Switzerland and was officially opened in 1959. There are 130 models of houses, castles and places of interest, as well as children's playgrounds and cafeterias, making it a great place for families. The models in the park are vivid and realistic, and you can see famous landscapes such as the Heidi village of Meinfeld, the castles of Burgdorf and Chillon, the parliament building of Bern and the Duomo of Milan. Interestingly, there are also 3.5 kilometers of tracks between these building model groups, running 18 train models. In addition, the models of cog railways, cable cars, mountain railways and ships are not left behind, showing the developed Swiss public transportation system in its entirety. If you don't have time to travel all over Switzerland, come here for a walk.
