Miniature People Leeuwarden

Walk through the streets and alleys of Leeuwarden's city center and go look for these tiny Liwwadders.

If you see a few people staring at a tiny ledge in the wall in Leeuwarden, chances are there are some Miniature People hiding there. What started as an artistic expression has become part of the most fun route for walking with kids: the Miniature People Route.

Photographer Michel Tilma captured tiny scenes, less than 2 centimeters tall, in unique locations throughout the city, leaving them there to be discovered. Stroll through the streets and alleys of Leeuwarden's city center and search for these tiny Liwwadders. This is the only way to truly discover undiscovered places.

There are 53 locations with a total of 71 scenes in the center of Leeuwarden where you can admire the figurines and take photos with them. Can you find them all? You can get an overview of all locations via Google Maps . You can decide for yourself where you start and end. Prefer a paper map? For €2,00, you can buy a route map with tips at various places in Leeuwarden. See here where the route maps are available.

There are dozens of Miniature People scattered throughout Leeuwarden. Click the button below to see where they are all hiding.
