Full description

Leave Amsterdam and travel to the charming village of Giethoorn in the north of the Netherlands for a unique experience. Known as the "Venice of the Netherlands", the village is known for its many canals and the total absence of roads.

On your arrival, explore the fairytale village, where only 2,800 people live, on a one-hour guided boat tour in English. Experience the idyllic landscape from a unique perspective on a leisurely drive through the canals. Watch the people as you trudge the traditional flat bottom boats across the canals. Although most of the transport options in the village are by water, there is now a cycle path.

Explore the beautifully preserved village by bike or on foot and see how each farmhouse is built on a small artificial island. Stroll the narrow footpaths to discover more than 150 bridges and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the village.
