What to visit in Delft beyond escape games?
Delft is full of treasures to explore once your escape game is over. Don't miss the Vermeer Centrum Delft to delve into the world of the famous painter, even if it's not a traditional museum. The Prinsenhof Museum, a former monastery, is also a must-see for its rich history, particularly linked to William of Orange. Stroll through the Markt, the central square, admire the Nieuwe Kerk and Oude Kerk, then get lost in the alleys of the historic center. For craft enthusiasts, a visit to Royal Delft, the last remaining Delft Blue pottery factory, is a unique experience. And of course, simply enjoy the charming canals by walking or taking a small cruise.
What is the best season to visit Delft?
Delft is beautiful in every season, but each period offers a different atmosphere. Spring (April-May) is ideal for admiring tulips and flowering gardens, with mild temperatures. Summer (June-August) is perfect for enjoying canal-side terraces and long sunny days, although the city can be busier. Autumn (September-October) offers superb colors and a calmer atmosphere, conducive to strolls. Even winter has its charm, with a cozy ambiance and the possibility of ice skating on the canals if the frost is sufficient. For our outdoor escape games, spring and autumn are often preferred for their pleasant weather, but the game remains accessible all year round!
