This Fairytale Town Has No Roads

How much do you want to live in -- or barring that, visit --a place where there are no cars? What a dream come true.

The town of Giethoorn,located about 75 milesnortheast of Amsterdam, has roughly180 bridges that crisscross over the canalsthat run throughout the town. The only modes of transportation are your feet, boat or bike.

It's often called the Dutch Venice because of course it is, and it's super pretty and romantic-looking.

Wouldn't you want to row down these canals or walk these paths?

The town sits in the midst of theWeeribben-Wieden National Park, which is basically one big nature reserve and is best seen by boat.

Asmall local population and low numbers of touristsmake Giethoorn the picturesque, sleepy little canal town we thought had gone extinct.
