We made our way by train to the quaint city of Delft. In many ways it’s a smaller, calmer version of Amsterdam (also absent: the billowing marijuana clouds). We stayed at the fantastic Hotel Arsenaal, built out of the old arsenal on the canals. Super cool.
The Center of Delft
First stop is exploring the center of Delft. The train station is very close to the center (the Hotel was in e=between the two). Everything is very walkable.
Lunch in the Main Square
It was time for a little lunch. Many restaurants line the perimeter of the square. We chose deBeierd for some outdoor dining since the weather was glorious.
Molen de Roos Windmill
A short stroll from the Main Square you will find the Molen de Roos windmill (which is still a working mill). We climbed up… not easy.
Maria van Jessekerk and Oostpoort
Back through town and a stop at Maria van Jessekerk church. We walked over to the old original gate… Oostpoort.
Dinner at Bij Harry
And capped the day with a magnificent meal at Bij Harry.
A really nice day. If you’re nearby to Delft, make the trip for a day — well worth it.
