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 55 miles northeast of Amsterdam, has roughly 180 bridges that crisscross over the canals that 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 romantical looking.
Wouldn't you want to row down these canals or walk these paths?

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

It's a popular destination in the summer for obvious reasons, but it's also popular in the winter, when you can go ice skating both on the canals and on the nearby lakes. Check it out.
