Delft

NLEUR €3 walks

A small canal town that carried an outsized weight of history. Vermeer painted his impossible light here, William of Orange was shot on a stairwell and became a nation's martyr, and when disaster and imported porcelain reshaped the town, its potters turned out the blue-and-white ware a whole continent copied.
