Known in the Netherlands as “Venice of the North“, it is famous for its ‘carless’ roads. In the old part of the village there is only a cycling path, and all transport was done via water over one of the many canals.

Travel to Giethoorn with Stena Line‘s twice daily crossings from Harwich to Hook of Holland.
