Follow Delft from its lively Markt and townhall to quiet bridges, historic churches, and the city’s working craft traditions. Along the way, pause at the Smallest house of Delft, Museum Prinsenhof Delft, and De Roos windmill for close-up details that reward walking rather than rushing past. The route continues through Delft’s Jewish and military heritage before ending among porcelain, a city gate, and the greenery of Arboretum-Heempark Delft. It is a varied way to see how Delft’s streets, buildings, and makers fit together.

    Narration at every stop, starting on its own as you arrive — phone in your pocket.

  • The route, followed

    A live map with the turns called out, and a way back whenever you wander off it.

  • In four languages

    English, French, Spanish and Arabic — the words and the voice, not just the labels.
