There’s something magical about cities on the water, with small streets and bridges at almost every corner. Even though Venice is the most famous city on water, there are other cities that are also gorgeous. Take a look at these three cities that will capture your heart 

Annecy, France 

Spread out on the Lake Annecy and Thiou River, this place will not leave you indifferent. The crystal-clear water and the medieval chateaus will quickly make you fall in love with this place. You can rent a boat and enjoy the Palais de l’Ile, or enjoy some festivals, like the annual Lake Annecy Festival happening in August. 

Giethoorn, Netherlands 

There are no cars here and to be honest, you won’t need one. The canal system that was formerly used by farmers for transport is still one of the main ways for going around. You can also book a cottage to check out the museums and the restaurants by the canals.  

Suzhou, China 

Suzhou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the home of the Jing Hang Grand Canal – the longest and the oldest canal in the world. Don’t forget to visit the Hanshan Temple that dates back to the 6th century.

Only a half an hour drive from Amsterdam, the crowded capital of the Netherlands, there is a romantic and beautiful village called Giethoorn. Even though it is a small place with a population of only 2,600 people it is still a very popular travel destination among tourist, especially Chinese. Never heard of it? Keep on reading to find out why Giethoorn should get on your next-to-go list.

This northeastern village is car-free. There are no roads, no cars, only small lakes. In Giethoorn, often referred to as “Little Venice” or the “Venice of the Netherlands”, the most commonly used means of transport are boats, just like in Venice, Italy.

The village is full of greenery. Trees, beautiful green grass, picturesque farms, wooden bridges and blue sky will take your breath away. You can rent a boat or a canoe and explore the environment. While admiring the gorgeous 18th and 19th-century farmhouses, breathe deeply, enjoy the fresh, unpolluted air, your lungs will be grateful. You can book a hotel situated on the water’s edge or have a romantic feast while watching the lake.

Giethoorn is also famous for the Dutch comedy called Fanfare, which was filmed there.
