Giethoorn Holland The Village With No Roads 1

Tucked away in the rural Netherlands is Giethoorn, a picturesque village that’s earned the nickname “Dutch Venice” because it lacks roads or any form of modern transportation. To get around, you travel the old-fashioned way—via canals or on foot across one of its 176 bridges.

The peaceful setting, founded around 1230, features a series of small waterways that guide boats past its historic architecture and luscious vegetation. Similar to vehicle-occupied roads, the canals have their own “streets” that take you past thatched-roof farmhouses, museums, and commerce. Unlike cars, however, the overall landscape is a quiet one.

Electric “whisper boats” are popular alternatives to motorboats and make a minimal amount of noise. According to Giethoorn tourism: “The loudest sound you can normally hear is the quacking of a duck or the noise made by other birds.” For those looking for a serene getaway, Giethoorn is it.
