Delft has long been associated with trades and industry, in particular the manufacturing of Delft Blue earthenware, a world-famous form of pottery that has been around since the 17th century. Relive its glorious past as you wander along tranquil walkways, beautiful canals, many churches, delightful market square and well-preserved medieval houses.
Giethoorn
Giethoorn, a peaceful quaint village known as “Venice of the North”. Boats are the main mode of transportation in the village and it is easy enough to spend whole days exploring Giethoorn’s delightful waterways. You may board a boat for a guided tour of Giethoorn, or paddle your own boat, cruising down the village waterways, ducking under wooden bridges, and learning about life in the area, which was once a waterlogged swamp.
