6Giethoorn, Netherlands
No roads, no traffic — just canals, wooden bridges, and thatched-roof cottages. Giethoorn is often called the “Dutch Venice,” but it feels far more rural and tranquil.
Visitors explore by small boat, gliding through peaceful waterways lined with gardens. The surrounding national park adds to its serene atmosphere. It’s a refreshing reminder that beauty doesn’t always come with crowds.
