Delft is one of the Netherlands' most beautifully preserved medieval cities, and it also happens to be a great place to try out some local snacks. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll trace Delft's history from its medieval brewing empire to its enduring food traditions, discovering how canals, trade, and a few catastrophic accidents shaped this remarkable city. The tour starts at the Markt, Delft's vast central square, where a weekly market has been held since the 1100s. From there, you'll wind through the city's historic core, past the Beestenmarkt: a former cattle market now lined with cafés and along quiet streets where Johannes Vermeer once lived with his wife, 11 children, and mother-in-law. You'll also stop at the Prinsenhof, the former monastery that served as headquarters for Willem van Oranje during the Dutch war of independence from Spain. The tour ends at Stads-Koffyhuis, a charming café where you can try Dutch apple pie made from a recipe first printed in 1514.
