- This week we take a quick 15-minute train ride from The Hague to the beautiful city of Delft.
Delft is known for a few things. They are known for their Defltware which is porcelain pottery brought back from China. The wealthy were attracted to the blue and white that they collected these beautiful potteries. It became so popular that people started to imitate it in the Netherlands. Now the Royal Delft is the last remaining factory to produce this beautiful Delftware. The second thing Delft is known for is the famous painter Johannes Vermeer. His most famous painting is The Girl with a Pearl Earring. Vermeer was born and spent his whole life in Delft.
We visit the Royal Delft to learn more about the history of the Delft blue and its Delftware. We see first-hand artists and sculptors making the Delftware and get to see some beautiful artwork.
We head to the city center and grab lunch then immediately make our way to the Vermeer Center where we learn some fascinating facts about Vermeer and his life. It’s a great introduction to Vermeer.
Afterward, we walk across to the Markt square where we can find the New Church and City Hall. An awesome place to walk around.
Thank you for watching, we appreciate it. Let us know what you thought of the vlog.

What do you think of delftware? Would you visit Delft?
visit? i live there ;)
Love Delft, love Delfgauw and love Rotterdam
Used to stay for a month in Mina , Delft. The place was wonderful, chilly vibes everywhere. And the fish & chips on Delft Square every Thursday, just beyond words 🤩
It really is a wonderful place! 😃 thanks for watching!
Looks so nice here! I'd love to rent a bike and ride around the city. Thanks for sharing your perspective of Delft!
That’s what we’ve been doing on a daily basis here 😃 it’s so great! Thanks for watching
Love to live there, it is just so peaceful, look how few cars there are! Imagine just being able to walk or bike or hop a train anywhere, imagine actual people out in the open rather than wrapped in brutal metal cocoons, people you could potentially meet and engauge with without an app! Imagine being able to sit in the city centre without choking on fumes and without it sounding like a light aircraft is taking off in the middle of the street! Imagine not fearing for your life when you try to ride a bike or cross the street! Must be wonderful! Just people watching and enjoying the ambiance of the street!
It’s such a beautiful part of the Netherlands! It’s almost like being in another world. We can’t wait to go back 😃
Nice! I was born in Delft. At: Oostpoort 7. Always tourists!
That’s awesome! You are very lucky. Delft is a beautiful town 😊
Wow what super beautiful city , and all the buildings design is beautiful as well.anr looks amazing, enjoyed watching here thanks for sharing your wonderful city
It’s so great here! Thanks for watching and supporting we really appreciate it 😊
The Delft main square is so pretty! I rented a car to drive to Delft, but parallel parking in a standard vehicle, along the canal, nearly killed me 😂 scariest driving experience of my life
Omgggg! We were walking along the canal and the thought came up about driving and parking in this area and how scary it must be. Can’t believe you actually lived it! Im getting anxious just thinking about it 😂. Hopefully things turned out ok lol
@@MrMrsK21 well, I didnt go for a swim in a canal.... but my mom didnt trust my driving, and got out to watch from a safe distance
@@BumblingTourist 🤣 🤣
so cool to see the process of painting the Delftware and the vases/urns at various stages. lol - “later that day” - guess that weather rolled in after all. 😆 also funny to hear classic art like Vermeer described as dope. But you’re not wrong! 🤣
Lol this weather is something else. It’s like that almost everyday here. Vermeer’s art is dope 🤣 🤣
Looks like a lovely city. I love that pottery so pretty.
It really is! It was such a great trip 😃
Beautiful. Always wanted to go to Delft. Hopefully when covid is over we will get there!😀
I hope you guys get to visit also! It’s so pretty 😃
We would love to welcome you here ❤️
@@linnh940 thank you for the invite
Great tour of Delft. We have never heard of this area.
We didn’t either until we looked up some of the smaller towns and cities around here. It is definitely a hidden gem here and everyone should visit 😃
Hello Mr & Mrs K 👋👋 The Looney Mooney crew in Australia have subbed for support 😄❤️🇦🇺 Lve the Netherlands... We were last there in 2006
Hello Loony Mooney’s! Thank you so much for the support we truly appreciate it 😃 2006 was quite a while ago I’m sure a few things have changed 😆
💙
😃
This seems to be a very nice place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
This was definitely one of our favorite places to visit in the Netherlands. Thanks for the support we really appreciate it 😃
Netherlands is very high on our travel list. Tovah trained the the Cold Lake Canadian Military Nijmegen Team in 2018 and as not able to attend the march. We would love to go and do the march and travel all over. We love the allure of all the cute, small quaint towns.
I really hope you guys get to go one day. These small towns have so much character and charm it’s unbelievable. Thanks for watching 😃
i live in delft for over 6 years now, i still love it. and this video is very lovely made, thank you for this. i hope that next time you are able to stay longer in this beautyful town of delft. you mentioned about the cityhall on the market plain, if i remember right trough weekday you are able to go inside the frontpart of it, it is open to the public, as well as the (new) church across it, and the "old" church as well, which is in walking distance.
Wow! That’s gotta be awesome to live in delft. And thanks for the recommendation. We did visit again once more during our time in the Netherlands so be ok the lookout for another one in the future 👀 😉
Right, nice weather.
Wait an hour and you are soaking wet.
Par for the course 🥂
Lol you already know 😆
@@MrMrsK21 four seasons in one afternoon, that is the modus operandi in the Netherlands. That said, after, say 25 year, it still will surprise you.
It was nice with great shots but just too short.
I can recommend Utrecht. It’s a bit like Amsterdam but quieter, cozier.
Rotterdam if you want to see amazing architecture.
We heard a lot of good things about Utrecht but didn’t go on this trip 😞 hopefully next time. But Rotterdam was amazing! 😃
Definitely need one of those full-sized statues at 02:31 😂
Quite the souvenir 🤣 🤣 🤣
i like your country very much
my heart wants to come to your country Netherlands
Such kind words! Thank you. But this isn’t my country. I am just a visitor. It definitely is a beautiful country and hopefully you will visit one day 😃
@@MrMrsK21 Why can't I come 1 day
can you tell which country are you from
can you help me 🤐🤐
@@aliranjha7899 we are from America 😃
@@MrMrsK21 sir i watch your more regular videos
your videos are so beautiful
i also want to be a visitor
please give a little help sir
i watch your videos regularly
i love watching your video
Nice video. If you know about any options for student accomodation in Delft don't hesitate to write it down here. Just trying my luck 🤞
So sorry! I actually do not know. We did notice a lot of students around the area though. Thank you for watching we really appreciate it 😃
@@MrMrsK21 you didn’t know the Technical University Delft ? It is world famous for civil engineering especially in water management
Nice to make a day trip, but NEVER come there to STUDY of to live. To crowded and to expensive.
This is an advise from someone who has studied and had been there for 10+ years.
It was pretty crowded when we went so space is definitely limited. But it’s still a great place to visit! Thanks for watching 😃
Mooi, maar Nederland is ....regen.
Nederland is rain.
