Who it's for
All ages

Delft is a city of narrow canals, with stone bridges so low that on the boat you have to duck your head. Rondvaart Delft leaves from Koornmarkt 113, five minutes from the Markt, on the hour from 11:00 to 17:00, from April to October, and at weekends in November. The trip lasts about 50 minutes and passes along the Oude Delft, the oldest canal, with the Oude Kerk leaning over the water. It costs €14 for adults and €6.50 for ages 4 to 16.
