Giethoorn is by far the most romantic town in the Netherlands. Located in Overijssel in the east of the country, it is surrounded by both nature and water. So much water, in fact, that the village of Giethoorn has no cars driving through it. Many houses are only reachable by boat, this is exactly how the locals travel. Even the mail is delivered by canoe!
During your Giethoorn Day Trip from Amsterdam, explore this extraordinary water village as you float along the narrow canals beneath the linden trees, listening to nothing but birdsong. Marvel at the centuries-old thatched-roof farmhouses and glide under the charming wooden bridges of this picturesque town. Giethoorn will make you feel as if you’ve stepped into another era, another world entirely.
