Bhanushree Mehra Instagram – If you’re visiting Amsterdam and want a break from the city, plan a day trip to Giethoorn.
It’s located about 2 hours from Amsterdam and is known for its canals, tiny wooden bridges, and cute cottages with thatched roofs. You either walk or take a boat – cars are not allowed inside the village!
🛤️ How to get there from Amsterdam:
• Take a train from Amsterdam Central Station to Steenwijk. (You might need to change once, usually at Zwolle.)
• The whole train ride takes about 2 hours.
• From Steenwijk station, take bus 70 which drops you right near the village. Super easy!
Once you arrive, you can rent a boat or hop on a guided canal tour. We rented our own boat and just floated around the village.
There are plenty of cute cafés, ice cream shops, and little souvenir stores inside the village so you can easily spend a few hours relaxing and exploring.
It’s honestly one of the prettiest places I’ve seen in the Netherlands. 💛
Giethoorn is definitely worth the trip.
