DAY 3  Amsterdam - Giethoorn - Kasteel De Haar - Amsterdam 

Giethoorn: Giethoorn, also known as the "Green Venice," is famous for its reflection of green houses on the water. The roofs of the houses are made of thatched reeds, providing insulation from the heat in summer and protection from rain and sun. What was once a result of poverty and limited resources has now become a high-income residential area, showcasing the stark contrast over time. To experience the beauty of Giethoorn, a canal tour (including boat ticket) is arranged, allowing you to glide through the serene village on a flat-bottomed wooden boat.

Giethoorn is referred to as the "Venice of the North" and the "Dutch Venice." It gained its fame because there are no cars or roads here, only a dense network of canals and 176 small wooden bridges connecting the houses. The primary mode of transportation for the locals is the traditional punt boat, propelled by a long pole. As many houses can only be reached by water, even the local postman delivers mail by boat, and weddings are celebrated by taking a bridal boat to the church. Centuries ago, when the first settlers arrived, they discovered that peat was the most abundant and only resource underground. Through years of excavation, numerous canals and lakes of various sizes were formed. Subsequently, in order to facilitate the transportation of goods by boats, the channels were connected and widened, resulting in the interwoven network of waterways seen today. In present-day Giethoorn, apart from the joyful voices of tourists, the loudest sounds you'll hear are the quacking of ducks and the chirping of birds, creating an enchanting fairy-tale world secluded from the rest of the world. Here, you can peacefully enjoy a holiday and fulfill your European fairy-tale dream by immersing yourself in the gifts of nature.

Kasteel De Haar: Visit Kasteel De Haar, a castle dating back to the 14th century located near Utrecht. The castle underwent restoration in the 19th century.
