Delft is said to be one of Holland's most attractive towns. Tourists come for the famous blue porcelain, but this city of canals offers more. The spirit of painter Johannes Vermeer lives on here, where you can visit the Vermeer Center and his grave in the Oude Kerk. William of Orange resided at the Prinsenhof until his life was ended by an assassin's bullet. He is buried in the royal crypt at the Nieuwe Kerk. Delft has a variety of hotels, including old canal houses, to sleep in, and you can satisfy any food craving in the various restaurants and tearooms.
