The Magic of Delft

I've never been to Delft so wasn't sure what to expect, but was very pleased with what I found. This quiet and laid back Dutch town has everything you need for the "Dutch Experience" but without the bustle of Amsterdam. Delft is easy to get to on the train from Schipol airport, about an hour and €13 south. It's a very picturesque town full of flowers and canals and with many fine restaurants. It's quiet and safe and even has a big old working windmill. For travellers, a couple of days in Delft, lounging in a coffee shop or walking the pretty streets, finding a French restaurant and a Belgian beer is definitely worth the short trip out of the big city.
