    You will love the Dutch city of Delft. It is one of the most famous, historical and beautiful towns in the Netherlands, preserved in picture book perfection. It's also a modern city that functions very well for its hundred thousand resident as you're going to see in this comprehensive video guide.

    Unforgettable experience visiting there. I loved the old center with its cobblestone streets, going to the museums and learning about The House Of Orange. I had a winter soup on that square in a little pub on a cold winter day. Such a simple meal but one of the most heartwarming culinary experiences I've ever had in my life. Looking forward to having that same meal on a regular basis. If your mind is blown by being in a 17th century atmosphere, you can always take the bus to IKEA Delft. This is one of the best travel vlogs I've ever seen. I appreciate the details and nuances you took the time to include. Thank you!

    This video brings back so many memories. I worked for a software company in Delft 15 years ago and Delft seems to be my second hometown during my stay. When I see this video today, I remembered the streets I walked, the markets I've visited, the canals I've crossed and the same church with the old clock is still there. I've even ventured as far as IKEA store across the highway. Thank you so much for this video Dennis, you'll never know who you've touched by all your travel videos.

      Hi Nicky, I might move to Delft in some time for my work. Can you please share you experience on how this city is suitable not just for tourism and sweet walks along old town but for living. I think if I need to rent some place, it ill be somewhere outside the old part, so how is the life quality for non-tourists there? Did you like it? Thank you!

      Nah it can be really cheap actually. Do some research on a travel website. Of course a fancy restaurant in the center of the old town isnt going to be cheap, but not crazy priced either. But if you are on a budget there are plenty of options. Get some fried fish at the stand you see in the video for example. Hot , fresh and good size portions.

      We call him Willem III, also known as the protestant defender. He's quite well known and historically quite important, but he's always overshadowed by his ancestor Willem the first, also known as Willem de Zwijger (william the silent), who is considered the 'father of the nation'. But we rarely think of his doings in england or ireland
