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.
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 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.

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.
