One of the best things you can do in Delft is wander aimlessly. You can walk across the city core in less than a half hour, so why hurry? Admire the rows of brick gabled buildings. Notice water lilies growing below a footbridge. Explore small shops. Sip coffee in a café or a beer in a bar. Have a casual outdoor lunch or dinner facing a square. Admire the masterpieces of Johannes Vermeer, the best painter of several Delft artists during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century). Appreciate the leisurely pace and warm greetings of Delftonians.
