No matter the season, Delft never fails to amaze you. This self-guided city walk, complete with an in-app audio tour, is not only informative and practical but also laid-back and inviting. As you meander through the streets, alongside the canals and across royal squares, you might find yourself ponder why the Old Church tower leans so peculiarly or why Delft pottery is blue. Curious about which royals rest in the Royal vault? Your digital guide has all the answers!
Your journey begins at Market Square where you'll uncover the origins of the city, admire the grandeur of the New Church, and be intrigued by the 'oxblood red' shutters of City Hall. Next, step into the childhood world of renowned painter Johannes Vermeer and discover how his talent blossomed. Immerging yourself in old Delft's ambiance, you'll explore the former meat house, now a popular restaurant, and the Butter Bridge, once utilised as a large refrigerator.
As your exploration takes you further into the historical heart of the city, you'll 'encounter' the nation's father – Willem van Oranje. Crossing the charming canals, you'll be astonished to learn they're brimming with bicycles. Your tour concludes at one of Delft's most charming courtyards, Hofje van Pauw.
