It is almost impossible to see all of Giethoorn in one day. A walk through the village, a boat trip through the canals and a bike ride through Weerribben-Wieden National Park each easily take half a day. By staying overnight in Giethoorn you do not have to cram everything into one day.
Early in the morning, before it gets busy, or on an evening walk at sunset, you see Giethoorn at its best. You only get that if you stay in the village or the immediate surroundings.
