Fancy a unique discovery tour through one of the most beautiful historic cities in the Netherlands? Then hop on a bicycle with Do DELFT! During this unforgettable cyclingtour, our experienced guide will take you past Delft’s iconic spots and surprising new hotspots outside the city center. At a relaxed pace, with fun stories, unique facts, and above all… plenty of beautiful places to enjoy.

Start in the historic heart of Delft
The tour begins right in the city center. For the first half hour, you’ll cycle through the old city center, where time seems to have stood still. In the Markt (Market Square), you’ll admire the majestic Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) and the stately City Hall, while the guide shares colorful stories about the painter Johannes Vermeer, famous fellow citizens, and hidden urban myths.
Then the route takes you past the characteristic Oude Kerk (Old Church), known for its leaning tower and connections to famous historical figures. The Prinsenhof (Prince’s Court), where Dutch history took a dramatic turn, is also on the route. Here, you’ll look through the same windows where William of Orange once stayed and where two bullets proved fatal to him.

From history to innovation
After the city center, you’ll cycle towards Nieuwe Delft, the modern neighborhood that has sprung up on the site of the former Spoorzone railway station. Here, history meets the future: innovative architecture, sustainable urban development, and creative initiatives make this area an inspiring part of the tour. The highlight is the central hall of the “Huis van Delft” (House of Delft). The campus of Delft University of Technology is one of the most innovative places in the Netherlands. You’ll cycle past impressive buildings, state-of-the-art labs, and places where students and researchers work on the technology of tomorrow. The guide will tell you about this important part of the city, the unique buildings, and the energetic campus culture.

Two more surprises
The Art Center Delft is an inspiring cultural hub where art, crafts, and creativity converge. You’ll cycle past studios, exhibition spaces, and places where artists bring their work to life. The guide will tell you more about the origins of this creative location and the artworks you’ll see along the way. We’ll conclude the bike tour with a touch of nature. In the De Delftse Hout recreation area, you’ll experience peace and quiet, greenery close to the city. Imagine glistening waterways, expansive cycle paths, and the feeling of being completely outdoors. A wonderful end to a diverse route.

Delfshaven
Are you an experienced cyclist and not done cycling yet? Then book the XXL version. You’ll cycle to Delfshaven, now part of the municipality of Rotterdam, but once the port of Delft. A beautiful piece of history just outside Rotterdam, but with an important role in Delft’s past.
