The Grand Maket Rossiya? We also have something similar to that here in NY called Gulliver's Gate. It opened in 2017 and just like Miniatur Wunderland, it's a scale model of sites around the world.

i've been to lviv TWICE and i just find out about the crossword building. i thought i was good at figuring out underrated landmarks, turns out i was not. thanks tim, thanks for showing me what a failure i am.
You can go again! I went there once on a school trip in 1994; pretty sure it wasn't there yet at the time. I did discover the dangerous joys of drinking vodka mixed with orange juice there, at a pretty bar near the old Arsenal. Wouldn't mind revisiting!
In Amsterdam near the central station you have the Victoria Hotel. If you look closely, you can see 2 independent houses completely surrounded by the Hotel. The owners of those houses asked for a lot of money to demolish the houses when the hotel was build, so the builders just build the hotel around the houses instead
I like your videos a lot. You definitely get to some great places. I have noticed one quirk, though: Please put a link to the first video when making a sequel. :)
I have been to Gorreana many, many, many times and it is great! I congratulate you on saying "one of the few places in Europe where you can grow tea" and not say as we so many times hear that "the Azores are the only place in Europe were tea is grown" because in fact they are not. There are plantations on the UK and Switzerland or so I have heard. Congratulations on saying it right, not many people know that! PS: I liked so much the quality of your information I finally decided to subscribe do to this. Congrats!
Ha, thank you Daniel! Yeah I'm glad I checked that before putting it in the video :) My research turned up a few more plantations in the Caucasus region too, right at the other end of Europe, and someone commented that there is another one in the Netherlands. Soon they'll be everywhere!
Being used to your detailed videos, I felt like I was missing the important (or less so) background knowledge that you usually provide. I‘m gonna do my own research, then. These scraps have potential!
A ski-dome in Germany actually tried to take the title for largest model railway from nearby hamburg, but they f-ed it up so badly no-one cares (also, it's like 4x the scale, so...kinda cheating).
Thanks for mentioning Ukraine. We really still have what to visit and be happy to see you again. I`ve watched a number of your videos. but only now realised that you`ve visited my country.
Tbh I'm indoors so much that I forget I'm in Paris! And yes the pirate broadcasts ended in Dec 1964, but once the platform was taken over by the Dutch government it continued broadcasting (legally, this time) right up to 2006. EDIT from future Tim: no it didn't. Past Tim doesn't know what he's talking about. See below :)
The Tim Traveller Hi Tim Now I am curious Where did you get that info? Afaik it was used as a measure station for sea water temp and salinity, but not much else The TROS became a legal station, but did not transmit from the REM island, it used the national infrastructure like all the other Dutch broadcasters In the Netherlands there where at the time 2 television channels timeshared by several broadcasters, using the national infra, provided by the state maintained by the PTT
@@KokkiePiet Ah maybe you're right. I read that that the pirate broadcasting station renamed themselves TROS and continued broadcasting legally, and I thought that meant that they were broadcasting from the platform. But of course they could have been transmitting from somewhere else.
@@TheTimTraveller Our public broadcasting system consists of many "omroepen" which share the public radio and tv channels. When TROS became an omroep, its programs appeared on the public tv and radio channels, which were broadcast from Bussum, and later Hilversum.
I’m always absolutely amazed how interesting your videos are. I know it might appear like an insult but it is a sincere and heartfelt compliment. Awesome! My dad was a train driver (or a machinist as they like to be called in Poland) and he loved his job and everything train-related. He travelled all around Europe (using his railway employee discounts) to see many of the places you’re showing in your videos. One of his last trips was to Jungfrau. It was his dream coming true and he loved it! Thanks for your lovely and interesting videos.
@@qwertyTRiG "The original meaning of engineer, as someone who designed or built engines or other machinery, goes back to the 1300s and has held to this day in both the UK and the US. But it can be applied to someone who operates equipment as well as the one responsible for its design, says British lexicographer Susie Dent. From the 1730s "engineer" in North American English was being used as a synonym for "engineman", she says, applied specifically to the driver or operator of a fire engine, then later to drivers of steamships and steam-powered locomotives. This use travelled across the Atlantic where, Dent says, the Americans are merely applying a more literal sense of "engineer". The suffix -eer usually indicates an "agent noun", she says, describing a person who performs the action of the verb, in this case operating/acting on an engine. The term engineer as driver is rarely used in the UK today, although a trade union representing train drivers is called the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (Aslef), founded in the late 19th Century. An Aslef spokesman said the name reflected the meaning of the time." www.bbc.com/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-32758223

My dad was a train model enthusiast (owned dozens of marklins), he became a kid again when we visited the Grand Maket Russia. Also remember that viral photo of Putin riding a bear shirtless? it is recreated there
I come to REM Eiland once every 6 months for my work, very nice to see it in your list cause it is an interesting experience for sure. I'd like to point out there is a restaurant in the same street which houses on a old ferry (it's named pont 13) for anyone who is going to visit REM Eiland, you might aswell do a drink on pont 13 cause the restaurants are litteraly 100m apart from eachother and pont 13 is also a very interesting visit.
I'm so excited for the end of this terrible situation to travel again. Once its safe i think we'll all appreciate the ability to enjoy the quirks and craziness of adventure - and i hope that everyone else gets that opportunity as well :)
Just up the road from Whip-ma-whop-ma gate is the famous Shambles. There is also a street that has a name with a very rude origin story to do with prostitutes. It is now called Grape Lane, and has just one letter different from the original.
The only time we went to Dunnottir Castle, it was winter, cold, wet and maybe frosty. We looked at the steep sliippery path with drops at the sides across to the islet and decided NO

I stayed in that hotel in Zandaam. It only got weirder when I heard an odd noise and looked out of the window to see a massive flock of sheep being herded across the 4 lane road outside.

Just discovered your channel this week after watching The Vasari Corridor video... me and the wife were in Florence in June last year, funny to think the corridor was literally only a few metres above our heads and we had no idea it was there lol. Anyway, great channel, great video and will definitely be putting some of these on the to-do list once all this Covid malarkey blows over :)
Wahay! Dunnottar castle is where I used to play as a kid and I lived in Elgin too for a while. It's really nice to see people recognising nice stuff in the UK!!
Cross my fingers that at least each country opens up searately as a first step to make it possible to travel at least locally as a start. Today they were talking about the future of travel on public service here in Sweden and said that the future of travel most certainly is a future of short distance travel as flying is likely to be as expensive as in the 70-ties again.
I passed by the Inntel Hotels on my way to the hostel at which I was staying in Zaandam in 2018. There's a schwarma place within walking distance that does the best schwarma I've ever had in my life. There's also a historic chocolate district and loads of windmills, and Zaandam is so conveniently close to Amsterdam. Definitely recommend the place as a base of operations for anyone visiting Holland on a budget.
Loved it! Can't wait for more leftovers. And, of course, can't wait for you to be able to return to Tim Traveling! I (like most, if my understanding of your popularity surge is correct) discovered you earlier this year. What weird timing. That's time-ing, not Tim-ing. :) Take care, and stay safe.

I stayed at a hotel about a 100 meters away from that hotel in Zaandam in mid March of 2020; bad timing for an holiday! Beautiful hotel from the outside! That hotel is only about 100 meters from the "Zaandam" train station. The "Czar Peter House" is close by and worth a visit.
1:30 i love that idea, it serves the purpose of a multi-story hotel, but weirdly doesnt look out of place next to old buildings. wish more buildings like this existed
The first one with the crossword puzzle is actually so genius, it encourages people to explore the city and also find the clues
