24 hours in Delft - A romantic city discovery for couples
Delft is more than a historic city with canals and Delft blue - it is a place where culture, nature and romance come together. Whether you're planning a weekend break or just want to enjoy a day in the May holiday, these tips will help you make the most of 24 hours in Delft.
Morning: culture and history
Start your day with a leisurely stroll through the historic centre. Stroll past the Old and Nieuwe Kerk and admire the iconic town hall on the Markt. If you love art and curiosities, the Delft Antiques Market is a must-see. Here you will find unique finds and vintage treasures while enjoying the atmospheric city colours.
Afternoon: nature and adventure
For a different perspective on Delft, rent a boat from Randstad Recreaties and float along the Delft canals together. A wonderful way to get to know the city in a different way too. Rather go by bike? Discover one of the scenic cycle routes from 'Delft to the beach or a tour of Midden-Delfland'. For those who prefer walking, there are plenty of fun walking routes that take you past green parks and hidden corners of the city.
After all the activities, relax in the greenery in Delftse Hout, just outside the city centre. Perfect for a moment of rest among the greenery or a picnic by the water.
Evening: music, food and special exhibitions
In the evening, enjoy live music at Delft Live, on Saturday 25 April. Or book a special exhibition, such as the Beach Animals Mortuary, where Theo Jansen's impressive kinetic sculptures come to life. On Thursday, this exhibition can be visited until 21:00. End the day with a canal-side dinner, where you can sample both local and international dishes in a romantic setting.
