No Roads, No Cars, Just Boats

Most of us town-and-city dwellers spend our days pounding hard, paved ground. But in Giethoorn, Holland, residents float through canals. Built without roads, a series of waterways and bridges connect the town’s 2,400 residents. This incredible aquatic infrastructure has even earned the town the nickname “Little Venice.” We have to admit, a life without asphalt, gridlock and the DMV sounds pretty enchanting.

I visited the town in summer and it was VERY busy. All the tourists who wanted to relax in a quiet town (we also thought it was quiet 😅)

[@Kyranio]

It's a tourist hotspot. I don't live really close to it but I still live in the Netherlands and I've been there a few times, usually it is pretty booming in tourists. During the summer, people from all over the place, during the winter, ice skaters (if the canals are frozen well enough). Ice skating there is awesome btw

They cycle. A lot of Dutch people do, even if we don't all live in Giethoorn. Like most Dutch towns it has an extensive network of bicycle lanes. And parts of the town do in fact have roads and can be reached by car and public transport.

When I was younger I would swim here eventually because we would turn turtle to fall in the water from the canoes with my family and throw mud to eachother , sunscreen never really worked because of the swimming and laughing.

Indians and Asians who dream of such places dont realise how boring, isolating and depressing these towns are in europe.. After 10 days in a place like that u would want to run back to your pollutted, noisy, overcrowded countries because the one big thing that's missing in europe is "life" there are hardly any people.. Loneliness kills u in these places..the locals are extremely aloof, quite racist and dont open up to strangers nor trust them at all. On top of it these places are horribly expensive even for the locals.. Indians have more spending power now as the cost of living in india is still ten times cheaper than anywhere in western Europe...in London a movie ticket costs £14 now... And parking your car in a mall costs £9...life isn't easy in europe its a dream but once u see it.. That dream becomes a nightmare..I would say a lot of Europeans are seriously depressed people they have very tough lives, uts difficult now to even find partners in europe.. Most Europeans cant afford a baby thats why their populations are declining and immigration going up.. Which is causing more problems..Weather doesn't help either when its always cold and raining. All these places are good to visit once but after a month u can get suicidal in such places when u realise the local Culture and people are very closed up in their own world and dont like outsiders at all..and anyway their world is quite depressing.. Look up the suicide rates in Netherlands...its a pretty life but not necessarily a happy one :)... Go to Thailand or goa or bali.. See how many white Europeans are desperate to live there now cuz its lively, cheap, friendly and fun. Europe is just a picture postcard / open air museum now... Nothing more really.

[@mkts7649]

Carlouge I know all this very well, my reply was meant for non Dutch / non Eu people who think such places are great for them to move to, ive lived in europe and asia all my life so I know all the differences, issues etc.. Netherlands is nice and peaceful because its less populated..if one billion Asians moved to Netherlands I doubt it would still be nice and peaceful. These places are great for those who were born and raised there..for someone new they are impossible to integrate...and also impossible to immigrate.
