Giethoorn - Small Venice of the North

8330 AD Giethoorn

Giethoorn is often referred to as the Venice of the North. This quiet little town in the North East of the Netherlands is certainly charming and worth a day trip, but it's not Venice. It is too much a village, and not a big city. The main attraction is the fact that there all canals all over the place and they have typical Giethoorn boats that go underneath. Since it is quite a touristy thing to go to here, there are a few restaurants where you can eat or drink coffee.
