Boats are the only way you can visit the fairytale town of Giethoorn! With absolutely no roads, get ready to soak up the peace and quiet of the canals as you travel around the city.
Giethoorn is located in the province of Overijssel, at the center of a canal system that’s made up of 90km canal routes to explore! Why not rent a canoe or motorboat yourselves to glide along the water. You’ll get to see how the canals link cozy thatched houses with pristine gardens, eateries, hotels, and even three canal-side museums in the town center.
Pass under some of the 180 wooden bridges that connect the areas of the town, perfect for pedestrians and cyclists to get about. Get a glimpse of how the locals live too. Can you imagine only being able to access your home by boat? How does mail arrive! Yes, you guessed it - the post is also delivered by boat!
Immerse yourselves in the waterside nature and step into a simpler way of life and dreamy tranquility.
