Highlights

A stroll through Delft feels a bit like walking through a Vermeer painting. Nestled between Rotterdam and the Hague, the centre of one of Holland’s oldest cities is a historical oasis, largely untouched by modernity. On this self-guided walking tour through Amsterdam’s smaller, cuter and less crowded cousin, you’ll hear the city’s fascinating and unexpected stories. You’ll explore the city’s historical heart, taking in charming squares and walking alongside picturesque canals. You'll hear stories about the city’s rich history, its famous figures, and some of the small details that make Delft so unique. These stories are often fascinating, sometimes surprising, and every now and then also a little funny. History doesn't have to be dull after all! This tour offers an engaging and light-hearted walk through the old part of Delft with an experienced tour guide who has lived and studied here for many years.

About The Hague

The Hague, on the North Sea coast of South Holland, is the Dutch seat of government, home to international courts, art museums and a long beach.

The Hague is not the capital of the Netherlands, which is Amsterdam, but the government and parliament sit here, around the Binnenhof, a medieval complex of buildings beside a pond, the Hofvijver, with the Knights' Hall at its centre. The Mauritshuis, a small museum beside the pond, holds Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp.

Top-ranked sights in The Hague: Royal Delft (Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles), Peace Palace (Vredespaleis), Inner Court & Hall of Knights (Binnenhof & Ridderzaal).
