Delft Ceramics Walk takes you past ceramic works of art in public spaces, museums and (former) potteries, among other places.

Delft and ceramics are inseparable. The city has not only a centuries-old tradition in ceramics but also a very active and contemporary ceramics sector. Experience Delft's ceramic highlights for yourself during the ceramics route!

Take a walk from the garden of Museum Prinsenhof Delft to Royal Delft. Follow the blue and white ceramic bricks in the street - a design by artist Christina Linaris-Coridou - stroll past ceramic artworks, be surprised by unexpected objects and discover why Delft is rightly called Ceramics City.
