General presentation
Delft
Small city of canals, blue faience, Vermeer, historic squares and very legible atmosphere between Rotterdam and The Hague.
Delft's discovery revolves around Nieuwe Kerk, Oude Kerk and Royal Delft. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 2 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: small and very visit center and paves. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Nieuwe Kerk de Delft
Delft's Nieuwe Kerk offers a concentrated architecture, where natural light and volumes of passage build a very clear experience. The interior path, laid and ordered, highlights the sculpted details and the way the place rhythms its own thresholds.
Heritage
Oude Kerk de Delft
The Oude Kerk de Delft is the first to take the lead in its ancient material, structural lines, and work on openings. As we move between nave and chapels, we observe a stratification of uses that turns a historical facade into a sensitive experience.
Workshop and museum
Royal Delft
Royal Delft combines workshops, showcases and visual archives in a very clear proposal between manufacturing and memory. Objects become more meaningful when you look at their chain of details — colours, materials, tools — and then you see the space that hosts them.
Place
Markt de Delft
The Markt de Delft is driving into the centre of the city: an open square, a flow of shops and market rhythms that change throughout the day. The way in which an ancient centre remains a meeting space is read well more than just a decor.
