Giethoorn, also known as the 'Venice of the North', is a unique picturesque city in the eastern part of the Netherlands. It's the only city that has no roads. Only canals, cycling and walking paths (incl. 170 small bridges) connect this village to the 'real' world. Giethoorn is an absolute must-see during your stay in the Netherlands.
