A day in Delft

Delft is a modern city with a historical heart.The city is well-known for its ties with the Dutch Royal family and the famous painter Vermeer. Delft is also world renowned for its Delft Blue earthenware and its lovely canals.

It was a sunny day with 26-28 degree celcius weather, so I decided to visit Delft in this lovely Saturday. It took me some time to take the bus and change some train to reach there. Initially plan to follow an hour guided tour for E5.50, but change my mind to discover this city myself through the historic walk , so at last I bought a guided map and booklet at the Tourist Information Point for E3.50.

During Saturday, there will be few streets selling variety of antique stuff, some sort like flee market.

The Town Hall

The New Church

Side view of the new church

Neo-Gothic Maria van Jesse church

the Oostpoort (East Gate)

The East Gate is the only remaining city gate of the eight gates Delft used to have.

The market selling fruits, flowers, bread, cheese etc..

There are a few couples getting married at the city hall that day..




The old church is a leaning tower ...



Former residence of Lambert van Meerten and is now the musuem.

Overall it's a beautiful and nice town =)
