Detailed itinerary

Start your walk at the Gemeenlandshuis in Delft. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the fortress like mansion that reminds you the real monarch here is water.

Stop 2 Pass by

Stand outside these sober brick walls where William the Silent was shot and a nation learned that history is often made in hallways.

Stop 3 Pass by

Admire the famously leaning tower, a medieval engineering mistake that Delft kept like a family heirloom and now calls character.

Take in the ornate façade with its red shutters and golden swagger, then notice the dark old prison tower lurking behind the civic pride.

Pause in the vast square where merchants, executions, festivals, and Vermeer’s childhood all shared the same stage, just with different costumes.

Stop 6 Pass by

Look at the rebuilt guild hall front and enjoy the delicious irony: Delft has no original Vermeers, so it built a shrine anyway and made it work.

Stop 7 Pass by

Gaze up at the tower that dominates the skyline, a Gothic giant that has outlasted fires, explosions, and the city’s attempts to call it “new.”

Admire the twin Neo Gothic towers that rise like a comeback story in brick, a public victory lap for a faith that once had to hide.

Wrap up your tour at the Beestenmarkt. Take a moment to enjoy the square’s café buzz and imagine the old livestock chaos that once ruled this spot before ending your walk.
