Delft is a charming city in South Holland full of cobbled streets and tree-lined canals. It’s best known for it’s Delft Blue Pottery and the technical university of the same. The city has a rich history in art and technology with a close connection to the Royal Family of the Netherlands. Delft is widely considered one of the most picturesque cities in the Netherlands and has been painted over and over again by the country’s masters.
Check out the MUST-SEE Architecture in Delft below. I hope you find it useful as you walk its historic streets (there’s a map at the bottom to guide you around). As you see with the date at the top, this list is always updating as new projects are completed. If you want to see your photo featured, hashtag #AVONTUURA on Instagram.
