Why Delft Market Square matters

Delft's Markt is a perfectly proportioned square with the town hall at one end and the New Church, with its tall tower, at the other. Cafe terraces fill the middle and it is the best starting point for exploring the town. Climb the church tower for a rooftop view.

Talking points

  • The New Church has a tall tower.
  • The town hall faces it across the square.
  • Terraces make it a fine place to rest.
