Delft is a city in the western region of the Netherlands that is famous for producing the delicate blue and white painted pottery found all over the world.

It has lots of historical architecture, like the Oude Kerk and the Nieuwe Kerk, and is famous for being the home of famous painter Johannes Vermeer.

In the summer, this city becomes a charming place full of colorful flowers, cheery houseboats on the canals, and happy, friendly people.

Delfse Hout, a park only about a 15-minute walk from the city center, is a great place to lay out in the sun on either the grass or the sand of the beach or go for a swim in the canal waters.
