Points of interest, in fact, like the interests themselves, can be completely different.
In Holland, there are a dime a dozen of such points for all interests.
Who is looking for a delicious herring, who are girls in the red light districts, who admires the works of art of the great masters in many museums ...As Cicero used to say - "To each his own. "
All this I lead to Delft. On the one hand, he was not very lucky with museums, there are, as it were, quite a few of them, but there are no world-famous ones. But Delft was very lucky with the central square, called the Market Square. This is the real point of interest!
On the square is the city hall, built in the seventeenth century in the style of the Dutch Renaissance, here is the New Church (De Nieuwe Kerk). The church is the tomb of members of the Oran dynasty. Under the mausoleum of William I of Orange, buried in 1584, there is a crypt of the entire royal family.
But the most interesting thing (if you have enough perseverance and health to go up there) is the view from the tower of the church over the whole of Delft. What you see fully compensates for the loss of calories while walking up a very narrow spiral staircase.
Well, about souvenirs. Delft is known for the so-called. Delft blue porcelain. It should be noted that a real product made in this style is not cheap at all!
As a result: if you are near Delft, be sure to visit the Market Square!
Will be remembered forever!
