Known for the iconic blue & white floral dishware, Royal Delft has been making high-quality items…read moreof all kinds since 1653. This is the only surviving factory left out of 32! We stopped here as part of a bus tour from Amsterdam. We were rushed through the factory tour, which was interesting, and we were shown briefly how this earthenware is made and the different methods used to decorate it. Delft uses cobalt oxide which, when painted or transferred on, is a dark gray / black color, but when it is baked in the kiln, that's when it turns blue! We were able go through the comprehensive yet not exhausting museum portion of the factory on our own, and it was interesting to see the range and variety of Royal Delft creations. Royal Delft has survived for over 400 years because of their ability to adapt to current trends. The shop is huge and pricey. However, if this is your jam, by all means, have at it. (Going into Delft offers some slightly better deals on Royal Delft & other Delft brands.) Overall, this is a good experience if you are in the area, but for me, it wouldn't necessarily have been something I'd have gone out of my way to see if it wasn't a part of this tour "deal." Tickets are 17.50 Euros. There is a cute cafe called Brasserie 1653 on site and a lovely garden as well. If you are staying in the Delft area, the museum offers different activities such as painting your own figurine which you may find worthwhile. Peace.

AND 3 "stores" in one? electronic/office Paagman, the COOLEST Childrens store section on the Fred, and a Large selection of books, and adorable cafe, and a post office?!?!? Talk about your one stop shop! 3 entrances at least on the outside each leading to a different section of the store... Easy to think they are not one and the same! How surprised was I to see you served Kicking Horse Coffee..... SO SURPRISED!!! The back cafe almost makes it seem like you are not in a store at all. The kids section is so cool, you can watch movies, and play games, and theres a teeny tiny mouse house with a doorbell. I loved Paagman and Paagman you could spend a good portion of a day in there very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

You can also send international mail or purchase a chip card (enabling you to ride on the Tram and use other forms of public transportation in Holland). They also have a restaurant in back that serves decent drinks and snacks. Most important for any newbie to the Hague: free Internet. Apart from McDonald's - weird right? - Paagman is probably the best place to go to simply sit down at a coffee shop and respond to emails or simply surf the net

The inside of market hall has restaurants, gift stores, grocery stores, and more. The toilet is at the floor below with a charge fee for using it. During the summer festival, the line for the toilet is long. I like many street food vendors. The building shape like upside down U shaped. The visit takes only 20 minutes to 1 hour.

Delicious selections of food. Great opportunity to people watch. Bathroom costs €1,50 though.read more

De Blauwe Tulp, or The Blue Tulip, Delftware workshop and store next to the Nieuwe Kerk, was the…read morehighlight of my visit to Delft. Delft artists, inspired by Chinese porcelain brought in by trade ships, first made Delftware in the early 1600s, and this shop is part of Delft's artistic legacy. In the Netherlands, you will see lots of cheap, factory-made, not even 'made in Netherlands' fakes, but this place is the real thing. You can watch artists handpaint white ceramics with black cobalt oxide that turns blue in a super-hot kiln. An original piece is marked with a handpainted blue tulip in between the letters SR, the date, and the painter's initials. Yes, the pieces are a little pricey, but there were once over 30 potteries in Delft, and now there are only a few left, and The Blue Tulip is one of the only ones with entirely handmade ceramics. I visited on a miserable, cold, rainy winter day, and the people here were friendly, and the floor tiles were heated!
