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.
