Delfshaven
An old harbor district that survived the bombing of World War II, with canals, windmills and old breweries. It is where the Pilgrim Fathers set out for America.
Delfshaven was originally the outer harbor of Delft. It escaped damage in the bombing of World War II and retains its 17th-century canals, old warehouses and a mill that still operates. In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers prayed in the old church here before boarding the Mayflower to sail to America. The church is now called the Pilgrim Fathers Church. There are many bars and craft beer pubs along the canals. It is accessible by metro or by tram line 4.
