No Roads, No Cars, Just Boats

- Most of us town-and-city dwellers spend our days pounding hard, paved ground. But in Giethoorn, Holland, residents float through canals. Built without roads, a series of waterways and bridges connect the town’s 2,400 residents. This incredible aquatic infrastructure has even earned the town the nickname “Little Venice.” We have to admit, a life without asphalt, gridlock and the DMV sounds pretty enchanting.

@@laxjs Apples and oranges, Venice is a dump compared to this place.
Mee too 😁
There's nobody wanted to imagine FLIGHT ONLY country. Meh bad idea for that..
Me too! 🥰
So... We're agreeing that global warming is bullshit then?
I lived in Holland for 5 ysars and visited Giethoorn on several occasions, it's a beautiful place.
four tails I see
four tails it must be very expensive to buy a house
@@johnydoe7065 probably not i mean its like any other samll village in the world
So everything must be more cheapp than city
I think this place is cool.
Reminds me of how native American people used to live until your people arrived
Police chases must be lit in that village lol
Marcus Edwards im curious how police operate there

They probably have speedboats.

Everyone's talking about boat. And all I want to say is how green and clean this town is. No heavy pollution, just a great scenery of water and vegetation.
That is true, but the motor of a boat causes polution.
@@guus5504 Yup, you also have a point. But, nothing compared to other places, atleast they only have boats as means of transportation meaning less pollution.
@@joemertorres6881 Ooh you are in for a surprise once you realize how many cars a single boat motor pollutes the equivalent of. One shipping boat pollutes as much as millions of cars. Some shipping boats pollute more than entire countries. Imagine all the shipping and pedestrian boats with motors in this village.
@@KonglomeratYT I suppose your talking about large shipping cargo. Those indeed contributes more pollution than cars.
@@KonglomeratYT A shipping boat can be absolutely massive, a human next to one would be similar to an ant next to an rhino
Omg...Imagine how CLEAN the air in this town must be !!!
Boats pollute too
Well, the Netherlands is a small country and we do produce lots of CO2, so don't think the air is rewlly clean
Yes motorboats notoriously run on Chanel n.5
Seriously yes
Might be pollute but yea it will be super clean like there will be no dust gosh I love this place
when you're late and your excuse was "there were ducks crossing by" how lit could that be

Ducks cross on roads too

Imagine kid leaving for school and parents be like 'hey don't forget your life jacket'.

I suspect at this point it's more a retirement community. 2400 inhabitants, 1100 houses. Not many kids.
Almost all Dutch kids can swim, so a life jacket is not that big of a deal.

SuperKasper333 most of America is very spread out. Without a car it’s hard to do anything unless you live in the city
@@nicford1486 This comment mainly had to do with attitudes of having cars. Where I live, a car denotes power-esp considering the types of cars that one could have- I see only the biggest trucks and SUVs made. That has nothing whatsoever to do with geography, of which I need no lessons.
The village may seem calm and nice in this vid. But there are actually thousands of tourists walking around in your back and front yard photographing you through your home's windows

Shalahudin Al-Ayubi Well it's not in Holland. It's in the Netherlands.
Little Sailor Yeah, that's basically the same thing, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in other languages it's called Holland or at least something like Holland, so.
It is not the same thing, other languages usually have a 'correct' name for The Netherlands but people will still say Holland. Holland is only two provinces of the country, and Giethoorn is in neither.

Learning swimming is kind of mandatory in Netherlands almost every single kid is send for swimming lessons.
The Netherlands is a country with a lot of water. Its actually more odd if you dont know how to swim. Sometimes kids even get swimming lessons in elementary school, it's so important.
Ayyy it’s danymok
Well obviously the Netherlands, like half of the country is below sea level.

The whole idea of road rage comes from driving cars, with boats that's not a thing, especially in a town like this
Clear air! But must be a slow way of life since everything requires waiting. Love it.
Went to this place last year, it’s an amazing place. Very beautiful, so serene and peace. And the best part is we gotta drive the boats by ourselves. I remember when we blazed, we almost went and crashed. We drove to this place from Amsterdam and it was so beautiful, i loved the roads. It was definitely the best road trip of my life.
Sounds wonderful!
A world without cars is a world without problems!
True talk princess
Pls support my channel if u dont want to then its up to u
I'm pretty sure they had problems in the 1500s.
Technically the boats are the cars unless it has no engine. And boats with engine are actually noisier than cars. If it's has no engine, then they better be not doing an errand coz having a paddled boat ride is really slow and I've tried both. Regardless, transportation is crucial for any society. U can't have everything that u need all in your backyard. Sooner or later someone has to go from point A to point B. Animal as a mode of transportation is more sustainable (land animals like cows and horses). They don't consume fuel and they'll flexible in any terrain.
exactly! speaking from someone who had experienced traffic accidents twice (as a passenger), I definitely agree with you.
I just can't even imagine drunk people here...

Indians and Asians who dream of such places dont realise how boring, isolating and depressing these towns are in europe.. After 10 days in a place like that u would want to run back to your pollutted, noisy, overcrowded countries because the one big thing that's missing in europe is "life" there are hardly any people.. Loneliness kills u in these places..the locals are extremely aloof, quite racist and dont open up to strangers nor trust them at all. On top of it these places are horribly expensive even for the locals.. Indians have more spending power now as the cost of living in india is still ten times cheaper than anywhere in western Europe...in London a movie ticket costs £14 now... And parking your car in a mall costs £9...life isn't easy in europe its a dream but once u see it.. That dream becomes a nightmare..I would say a lot of Europeans are seriously depressed people they have very tough lives, uts difficult now to even find partners in europe.. Most Europeans cant afford a baby thats why their populations are declining and immigration going up.. Which is causing more problems..Weather doesn't help either when its always cold and raining.
All these places are good to visit once but after a month u can get suicidal in such places when u realise the local Culture and people are very closed up in their own world and dont like outsiders at all..and anyway their world is quite depressing.. Look up the suicide rates in Netherlands...its a pretty life but not necessarily a happy one :)... Go to Thailand or goa or bali.. See how many white Europeans are desperate to live there now cuz its lively, cheap, friendly and fun. Europe is just a picture postcard / open air museum now... Nothing more really.
Mkts the grass if always greener on the other side.In my hometown there is a bunch of Jewish people who live by agriculture and most of natives want to come to the polluted capital for employment 😂
Carlouge I know all this very well, my reply was meant for non Dutch / non Eu people who think such places are great for them to move to, ive lived in europe and asia all my life so I know all the differences, issues etc..
Netherlands is nice and peaceful because its less populated..if one billion Asians moved to Netherlands I doubt it would still be nice and peaceful. These places are great for those who were born and raised there..for someone new they are impossible to integrate...and also impossible to immigrate.

NOT a city. Small town or village. They even give you the number of boats and people.
@@travismailsa1 Not super peaceful though; the water is very close to the houses and hundreds and hundreds of boats pass your house everyday. This means thousands of tourists, with cameras, trying to have a sneak peek at what living there's like. The local government actually had to step in since a lot of Japanese tourists were climbing off boats to just walk through people's gardens and take pictures there (they probably didn't quite understand this whole 'privacy' thing). Also, what Don Quixote mentioned; it's a small town, definitely not a city, so it feels even more weird when there's all these tourists flooding into your everyday life.

*Venice is mega triggered from this comment rn XD*
@Jason Lee
Are you serious?
Jason Lee city in italy
Nevaeh Nevaeh so a little village that has been there for over 300 years was a Stolen idea from Venice? Don't think so my dear
This is a village, venice is a city.
This looks like a film set. Hats off to these people for maintaining and taking care of their place!
What we're talking about here is literally one street in Giethoorn that is too narrow to access by car. Most of the houses that are along this street have a driveway at the back and are easily reachable by car. The ones that don't have public parking at the back of the houses across the street (the ones with driveways). At most, anyone parks their car 50m away from their house.
other than the house at :10 doesnt have a street, it has water on both sides, and houses on the other sides of the water. certainly dont see how they could park within 50m of that one
@@sethc4758 , people are just trying to be witty, disparaging Giethoorn. Got nothing better to do.
People of here must have sailing license instead of driving license lol 😂 😂
😄😃
Sailing license
@@GauravKumar-xo5xj sailing license thanks.
They offers electric boat to visitors
Umm no we don't need any sailing license here
Just imagine forgetting to anchor your boat and come back 2 hours later to realise that it floated away
Luxury Boat there: Lamboatghini :’>
Edit: thanks for 200 likes, it's my first time

So you're a like-virgin?

@X Æ A-12 hey ash
1:41 so nice of them to water the bushes XD
Its not Village , its heaven ....
sahin vaaz you can go there as a tourist. But you can never go to live there. Because you are not white. I live in Holland and I have been there many times. It is beautyfull and they love it when I spend my money. But they hate the Color of my skin
That's not correct. Everybody , so also you, can buy a house in this village. It has nothing to do if your skin is white or black. As long as you can pay it you can buy is , but only with honestly deserved money.... not with black money ;)
Ik Dus her point was not about money but with her experiences regarding racism ;).
Wrong last summer it was like a hundred degrees and you couldn't sleep and there's barely any Wi-Fi that means no fortnight
@@gita9448 yes, you are hated because you ruin the land. You say it's beautiful and then do everything to make it not. You don't belong in Holland. You belong wherever you were born
Weird how such a primitive/simple means of transportation can make a place seem so modern/almost futuristic.. I wanna die here now lol.
My goddddddddddddd... the peacefulness you'll feel every morning you wake up would be in another level.. . Ughhhhh. That place would be so great to visit.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love the Netherlands so much. Proud of the portion of my ancestry that is Dutch!
u one of them "am black but ancestry.com said am 0,1% Asain"
@@lanreadesanya1846 No. I do have AncestryDNA, but mine is 30% Germanic Europe, and the rest is from the British Isles.
@@seantitus2769 germanic doesnt have to be any Dutch
@@Ok-oj5vu That category with Ancestry DNA includes both Dutch and German.
Well, I'm still hoping that 1 day before everything is too late I'll get to see the earth be like that place....
A similar city to this is a place in Italy called Venice
Yes, rising sea levels will do that. You'll be able to travel to any small island state and kayak through the street, I mean straits
Too late
You've got a long wait. There is no evidence of the very low lying Maldives being affected by even 1 mm of sea rise. This despite the predictions of 30 years ago that said it would be under water by now. Check the live skycams at the Maldives for yourself. As idyllic as ever.
🙂👍
I was there and this place is absolutely beautiful ❤️ would love to visit there again!
Is there any cars?
YBN ARDZ No
L D please mention the name of that lovely place , is that good for holidays with children?
Aquatic Village..... a lotta love frm India.....So beautiful place...💕😘💝
When I was younger I would swim here eventually because we would turn turtle to fall in the water from the canoes with my family and throw mud to eachother , sunscreen never really worked because of the swimming and laughing.
It is still mad fun. I grew up in this place and I’ve grown to love the fields and the calmness over there
Angry at teacher ??
Sink her boat lol 🤣🤣
My first thought, "I totally want to retire there!" So quaint!
Sameeee!
and having every day 20000 toerists walking in front of your house! lol I know it because i am from the netherlands...

I liked the part where they showed 2 cars on the road in the background😂
No cars, except, the cars that are driving by the bridge guard.
Lol I knew I wouldn't be the only one to notice that @ 1:15
Sometime, when I read the comments, I have the feeling people live on another planet and watch a human video for the very first time.
