is an indoor amusement park
made entirely of those little coloured plastic building blocks that many of us grew up with.
Cute but low-tech, it's best suited for kids aged three to eight. Skip the promotional intro-
ductory film and head straight to such adventure stations as Ninjago, where kids can battle
snakes and brave a laser labyrinth, or Merlin's Magic Library, where they become a wizard
apprentice and 'fly' through a magical potion room. Other 'thrills' include the 4D cinema
(with tactile special effects), a ride through the Dragon's Castle (top speed: 10km/h), and a
'torture-tickle chamber'. Grown-ups will have fun marvelling at a Berlin in miniature at
Miniland, which uses more than two million Lego bricks to recreate major landmarks.

features dozens of German TV and film actors (including Mar-
lene Dietrich, Werner Herzog and Romy Schneider) with brass stars embedded in a red-as-
phalt 'carpet' along Potsdamer Strasse. A cute gimmick is the Pepper's Ghost Cameras,
which create a holographic image of the celebrity hovering above their brass star. Best of
all: you can step next to and take a photo with your favorite celeb.
