Dove si trova Giethoorn?
Giethoorn is a charming village in the province of Overijssel, about 120 kilometers northeast of Amsterdam. Often referred to as the “Venice of the North”, it is famous for its canals, thatched-roof farmhouses, and peaceful atmosphere. Despite its remote, countryside location, Giethoorn is surprisingly easy to reach from Amsterdam — just 1.5 hours by car or minivan. This makes it an ideal day trip for visitors looking to experience a different side of the Netherlands.
What makes Giethoorn so special?
Giethoorn is unlike any other place in the Netherlands. The village center has no roads — only canals, narrow footpaths, and over 170 wooden bridges connecting small islands. Here, the only way to get around is on foot, by bike, or most famously, by boat. The result is a peaceful, car-free environment that feels like stepping into a storybook.
Visitors are drawn to the beauty of Giethoorn’s traditional 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses, the calm of the canals, and the slower pace of life. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, Giethoorn always leaves a lasting impression.
Cosa fare a Giethoorn
