Giethoorn is stunning! Step into God's watercolor painting

In the Netherlands, there's a place so beautiful it takes your breath away—Giethoorn. Stepping into this village feels like entering one of God's watercolor paintings. 🚗Transportation: From Amsterdam, you can choose to drive and enjoy the Dutch countryside along the way, about a 1.5-hour journey. Alternatively, take a train to Steenwijk station and transfer to bus 70. Though it takes longer, it's a great way to experience local transport. 🏞️Activities: Boating is the best way to explore. Rent an electric boat and glide slowly through the crisscrossing canals, passing by 18th and 19th-century thatched cottages surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers—it's like stepping into a fairy tale. If you prefer not to steer, hop on a guided boat tour, sip coffee, and enjoy the scenery. After disembarking, stroll through quiet alleys or rent a bike to soak in Giethoorn's tranquility. 🍱Food: Don't miss Dutch pancakes topped with fresh fruit and sweet syrup—delicious without being too heavy. Also try the local specialty, herring sandwiches, savory and appetizing. 📸Photography: The soft light at dawn or dusk is perfect for capturing the thatched cottages and canals. Stand on a wooden bridge with boats and waterways as your backdrop, and every shot will look like a masterpiece. Come to Giethoorn and embrace its unique romance and beauty—it's a dreamy getaway you won't forget.

Giethoorn - a picturesque village in netherlands. While boats and bicycles 🚲 was their only transportation give this town full of silent and load of breeze, a must to visit if you have an extra day in Amsterdam, but if you happen to visit here during the summer, do consider to do some water activities and stay for a night 🌙 too.
