🇳🇱Giethoorn, Steenwerk, Netherlands🐏🌳

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Giethoorn in the Netherlands is a small village that looks like a fairy tale world. It is quietly located in the city of Steenwerkland and is surrounded by greenery. The biggest feature here is that there are almost no cars in the village. Residents and tourists move by boat or on foot, so it is known as the "Venice of the Netherlands". Strolling through it, you will see clear canals and elegant arch bridges, and along the banks are small houses with thatched roofs. When you come to Giethoorn, the most recommended way is to take a local silent electric boat and slowly travel through the waterways. You will find that the doorstep of the villagers' homes is not a garage, but a pier where a small boat is moored. This kind of life scene is both special and warm. In addition to the scenery of the canal and bridge, the garden design in the village is also worth savoring. The flowers blooming between spring and summer set off against the ancient buildings, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Here you can experience the fun of driving your own boat, and you can also bring some snacks for a picnic on the boat 🍮🍩🍰, which is very enjoyable! This is not only a good place to take photos, but also a space where people can slow down and experience life. You can sit down in a cafe on the shore, order a cup of hot coffee and watch the rippling water, or walk into the museums and art shops in the village to learn about the local history and handicrafts. The beauty of Giethoorn does not come from its prosperity or bustle, but from its simple, natural and pure way of life. It makes people rethink the value of "quietness" and "slow living" and is one of the most precious experiences in travel. Whether it is your first visit or you have visited many times, your heart will be healed every time you come here. There are some boat rental shops along the coast, about €40 for 2 hours, which is a great deal when shared among four people! ! We rented from the store with the red flag in Figure 3. Other stores also have the option of guided boats, but I strongly recommend renting a boat yourself! ! ! Ticket Price: The boat rental fee is about €40 for 2 hours, and the price varies from one boat rental store to another. Transportation: Take the train and then transfer to the bus for about 2.5 hours. From Amsterdam Centraal, take the bus to Steenwijk station. After arriving at Steenwijk station, take bus No. 70 or 270 and get off at Dominee Hylkemaweg, Giethoorn. #Lugua Travel Notes #Netherlands #Giethoorn
