Next, you will see where the famous painter Johannes Vermeer spent his childhood and developed his talent. Then, you will plunge into the atmosphere of old Delft while examining the former meat house, which is now a must-visit restaurant, and the Butter Bridge, which was once used as a big fridge. As you continue along the historical downtown of the city, you will "meet" the father of the nation – Willem van Oranje. You will cross the beautiful canals and be amazed to learn that they are full of bicycles. The tour ends at one of Delft's coziest courtyards, Hofje van Pauw. We are sure that you will love Delft. Back home you will tell all your friends about the unique atmosphere in this old Dutch city. After all, Delft never disappoints!
