Delft’s city center is the perfect setting for the one and only Delft Christmas Walk in December. And what better place to start this walk than at The Christmas Shop on Voldersgracht? Here, you can browse around beforehand and get into the Christmas spirit. Our guide will pick you up from there. During the walk, they’ll share wonderful Delft stories about the city, Christmas in Delft, and the now-popular Delft Verlicht festival.

Along the way, we’ll make sure it’s not just the guide’s jaws that are shaking, because… we’re going to taste the oliebollen (Dutch doughnuts). Will they be as delicious this year?

Halfway through the walk, we’ll visit the Stadskaarsenmakerij Delft (City Candle Maker Delft), because candles are a Christmas tradition. Here, we’ll learn all about candle making and the history of candlemaking in Delft. Of course, there’s also time to browse the shop and perhaps buy a Christmas present (for yourself).

New in Delft is Koekjesbakkerij De Glimlach (Cookie Bakery De Glimlach). We’ll pay a short visit to owners Marc and Mariska. Cookies shaped like Christmas trees, Christmas meringue, and of course, Christmas wreaths are freshly baked. The whole bakery (and the street) smells wonderful. We’ll get to taste them and ask all our questions.

Christmas is all about chocolate, right? At Chocolaad Van der Burgh, owner Richard will tell us all about his work, his chocolate bars, and of course, we’ll also sample the delicious bonbons. What a treat! Did you know that Royal Dutch Airline KLM has been spoiling its passengers with Van der Burgh chocolate since 2012?

At the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) and Oude Kerk (Old Church), we’ll reflect on Delft’s religious heritage. It’s no wonder the city was called the city of “devotion and commerce.” The guide will explain why.

The walk concludes at the Stads-Koffyhuis (City Coffee House), where you can relax and enjoy the warmth of the walk. Will you choose a hot chocolate or a glass of mulled wine?
