You may have heard a lot about Venice, the water town, but did you know that the Netherlands also has a romantic water city? This aquatic gem is located in “Giethoorn,” known as the "Venice of the North," situated northeast of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Just like Venice, it’s surrounded by water.
Giethoorn has historical records dating back to the year 1230. Canals serve as the main mode of transportation here. Even today, the village's 2,600 residents still prefer canoes as their primary means of getting around — a tradition that is both unique and charming. The village also features up to 176 wooden bridges connecting various spots, creating a fairytale-like, idyllic scene that feels truly magical.
Besides Giethoorn, the Netherlands has many other unique attractions. Fever Travel has compiled a list of 24 must-visit spots in the Netherlands: http://www.dcfever.com/travel/sightseeing.php?id=2038
