Italy has been a dream destination for many where you find yourself hopping around boats as there is no other transportation. Fret not, there is another place to cater your tranquility in a village called Giethoorn. Located in Netherlands, the village has no roads. You can ride around in the water on a boat or on foot, just like the connected wooden arch bridges in Venice.


Situated in the province of Overijssel, there are 4 miles of beautiful water canals. The farmhouses have an old school architecture with thatched roofs dating back to the 18th century. The cars have to remain outside the village.


Giethoorn village has become a popular tourist attraction besides the area of Amsterdam. The nickname of the village is very apt, 'Venice of the Netherlands'. Guided canal tours and cycling and walking around the village is a great way to explore the rustic charm of the place.


Founded by a group of fugitives from the Mediterranean region around AD 1230, the Giethoorn village became quite famous after Dutch filmmaker Bert Haanstra made a movie called Fanfare in the year 1958 showcasing the village.

I love this innovation .......Atleast there won't be any thing like road accident casualties and the people living in that village will live longer due to total free air pollution from gaseous emission

Since there is no road, there won't be portholes,

Yeah lol

This is great.

I'd love to stay here for like a month though
