About this experience
Visit the charming city of Delft, the beloved hometown of the world-famous painter Jan Vermeer which looks like a picture itself with not only numerous architectural masterpieces, including the fairytale-looking 15th-century East Gate surrounded by scenic canals, the vintage peasant houses in Klaeeuwshofje Courtyard from 17th century, the 14th-century New Church with the second highest church tower in the Netherlands crowning the skyline of Delft, and the peculiar leaning tower of the Old Church, but also the vibrant traditional life that has been well maintained from the Middle Ages at Market Square, one of the largest historic market sites in Europe.

What you'll see and do
Set off at the Eastern Gate, the only remaining entrance of the 15th-century old city walls. The sharply pointed spires, drawbridge, moats, and arrow loopholes of the defensive brick structure make an exciting introduction to the journey through the rich history and culture of Delft.
15 minutes here
Next, stop by the picturesque courtyard of Klaeeuwshofje, consisting of serene 17th-century peasant houses home to Catholic laywomen who devoted their lives to praying and living peacefully away from the hustle and bustle of the city center and the main road nearby, Oosteinde Street.
15 minutes here
Continue to take a relaxing stroll through Oosteinde Street, where you can spot a wealth of lovely bridges spanning a scenic tree-lined canal and vintage-looking brick houses. The picturesque street leads you straight to the atmospheric Market Square.
15 minutes here
Delft
The main square is one of Europe’s largest historic market sites which has hosted a traditional Thursday market offering a variety of local specialties and produce as well as regional handcrafts, most notably Delft blue pottery, since the 15th century. The aroma of fragrant flowers and freshly cooked foods, the opportunities to sample local cheese, and the lively atmosphere of bustling terrace cafes make the square the best place to watch locals in their daily lives and get immersed in the vibrant culture.
15 minutes here
On its eastern borders, the New Church and its second highest church tower in the Netherlands looms over the square. The stunning crown-looking spire of the 14th-century church heralds its close connection with Dutch monarchies as the eternal resting place for most royal members.
15 minutes here
Across the square prominently stands the magnificent Delft City Hall. Its mesmerizing 20th-century Renaissance façade forms a perfect architectural landscape with the opposite New Church, whereas its looming clock tower from the 13th century hides thrilling stories about historic prisons held in captivity there in the Middle Ages.
15 minutes here
Old Church
Leaving the atmospheric square, continue to stroll along scenic streets and canals of Delft and stop by the Old Church whose 75-meter-high brick tower leans up to two meters from the vertical! Dating from the 13th century, the oldest church in Delft is home to the tombs of many eminent residents, including the world-famous artist Jan Vermeer and "the Father of Microbiology", Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
15 minutes here
Finally, try out coffees and delicious pastries made from the freshly ground wheat flour produced by the 14th-century Windmill ‘de Roos’. The last standing windmill, which is in continuous use, of Delft gives you a glimpse into the rich culture and history of the city, a perfect end to the journey into the soul of Delft.

Why this scores 31
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for The Hague.
How much does Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage cost?
+
Prices start at $437 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in The Hague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in The Hague is not rushed.
Is Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 31 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in The Hague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in The Hague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in The Hague and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Delft: Historic Streets, Market Square & Dutch Heritage start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central The Hague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in The Hague?
+
On Outty we rank every The Hague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour of Delft - The City of Orange and Blue, The Hague 2-Hour Walking Tour | Discover The City With A Local, Royal Delft: Delftblue Factory and Museum Admission Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit The Hague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in The Hague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
