Delft

Netherland its one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and also very cheap, but one of the best places its Delft, such a little nice place …

I was kind of young when I visited Delft the first time. I can remember taking a tour of the Delftsblauw factory. I was very impressed by it.

Now that I am not as young anymore, I would like to go back and see the cathedral and visit the grave of Willem van Oranje.

I was here only for three hours but it was quite memorable. The canal and small houses by the canal, boats, and everything

i lived and studied in delft for 2 years…
delft is a very comfy and laid back small city with lots of students and elderly…
very european and pretty (old buildings, canals, open markets, cafes, etc)!!!

Twee but sweet

i spent a few days in delft in sept of 2001 and found it to be a cute ciy that reminded me of a mini amsterdam. there’s not a ton to do but it’s still fun to walk around, people watch and eat some great dutch food. if you happen to be there on a weekend make sure to check out the street market.

Visited a few months ago during a festival. Had alot of fun just walking the streets by the canals and hanging out in the square. They have so much history that is quite amazing. Everyone is very nice and polite! A must see while you are in Holland!

small city, not much to see

this is a city to visit at daytime! It is lovely to see but at night not much is happening here, not whats worth staying for in most cases.

Did you know Bill Clinton and his wife ate ‘Poffertjes’ (really small but thick pancakes) with strawberry’s in Delft!? There’s a lot you don’t know about Delft.

I’ve lived her from 3 years onwards!

My city is a historically very important city to Holland.

Walking through the center of Delft will give you a chance to see the incredible houses which were then used as storage places for the spices Dutchmen brought back from their trips to Spain, Portugal etc. The center’s amazing. I don’t go there a lot but on a sunny day it’s really impressive. The little canals which where used to transport the goods from the major harbor in Rotterdam and bridges are really nice to see. It’s beautifull. There’s also lots and lots of places to eat and drink.

Besides being a historically very important city Delft is also home to a University with a very big name T.U. Delft (Technical University of Delft) who’s students and professors are responsible for a lot of great inventions (from the new ice-skates with the clicking heel all ice-skaters use now to the material on the outside of the new Airbus airplane)

I actually gave Delft the nickname D.F.T. years ago – a nickname a lot of kids use regularly for the city. I make music and when I used to want to rhmye something to Delft I got as far as ‘Messing with Delft.. is bad for your health’ haha. But rhymin on D.F.T. a different story.

When you get the chance – do visit. And if you don’t get the chance.. create the chance. You’ll have one friend to start with – I’ll be your guide for the day :o)
