About Delft

The claim of ‘a world-famous historical city’ is best illustrated and supported by the official tourist information of the city, giving the options actual agenda if there is some gap to fill: Delft Blue, the House of Orange and Johannes Vermeer. A real overview of Delft is given by Delft by drone.
