Walk · 1 h · Seventeenth-century houses, a windmill and the Pilgrim Fathers church beside the canal, far from the skyscrapers. Free.

Delfshaven was the port of Delft and is the only old district of Rotterdam that survived the 1940 bombing. Around the Voorhaven and the Achterhaven there remain 17th-century merchants' houses, warehouses, a rebuilt grain mill and the Pelgrimvaderskerk, the church where the Pilgrim Fathers prayed in 1620 before sailing for America. It feels like another city.
Getting there
It is west of the centre: by metro to Delfshaven station or by tram, about fifteen minutes from the centre. It is a good way to end the day, with terraces beside the water.
