Delft is, of course, home to Delftware or Delft Blue, but also to Johannes Vermeer of Delft, and to the Royal House of Orange, that is, they all lie buried there.
One 17th-century pottery operates to this day and includes a magnificent museum of Delft Blue pottery.

Delft is next to The Hague, so it would make a combination for a day’s outing. For instance, a Vermeer tour could include his paintings at the The Hague Mauritshuis museum and a number of locations in Delft, including his birth house and burial church, the spots from where he painted his famous town views, and Vermeer Center, located in the guild house where he was overlord of the St Luke’s guild, where reproductions of all of his paintings can be seen.
