Delft Transportation Tips by Pavlik_NL Top 5 Page for this destination

Parking, always a trouble in old city centres

Parking is difficult, especially when you want to do so within the old city centre. This is actually disrecommended by me, as it is not only very difficult, but also ruining the view on the old surroundings. There are some parkhouses around the centre and one can also park in the neighborhood of the Central Station as well as underneath the tracks of the railroad. this last option could be difficult in the years 2005-2007, as plans are made to put the railroad underground, which will lead to many roadconstructions and the (temporary) disappearing of this option.

Or take a bike and do like the students

You cannot be a student and do not have a bike in the Netherlands. This is THE means of transport for students, if it's not to get to the school building or cafe, then it is to have the opportunity to drink and get home legally. For tourists this option also could be interesting and bicycles can be rented at the NS-Rijwielshop just uotside the Central station.

Walk and discover the old centre intensively

With only a few square kilometres in it's old city centre, Delft is definately requesting you to start walking. This way also gives you the most intensive impression of the town and leaves the possibility to stop at museums, interesting places or just for a drink or quick bite.

Tram from The Hague brings you here.

If you are visiting The Hague and want to make some more out of it, take the tram that drives you directly to Delft. There are two lines heading that way, one reaching even into the Delft centre.
From Rotterdam some bus lines head into Delft direction and bring you in the centre of the old town.

Take the train

The train system in the Netherlands and especially in the Randstad Holland, can be seen as a gigantic metrosystem. Okay, they hardly go on time, but with an interval of only 15 minutes on average, one never has to wait very long. Delft has two stations of which the Central brings you direct into the old centre of town. The other, Delft Zuid (South) is especially created for the enormous amounts of students arriving by train and heading for the Technical University buildings.

Canalboats give impressions from the water

Seeing a Holland town with it's typical canals is often done in a great way from these canals! The impression from the water with details told by a guide is a perfect way to get to know the town in an easy and comfortable way. In Delft this is done by the company "Rondvaart Delft" and the journeys take around 45 minutes. Groups can reserve, but individual visitors van get tickets at the point where the boats regularly leave for their trips (from April until October.
