No one can claim to have seen the Netherlands without visiting these two ancient cities with such a fateful history for our kingdom! To fill this gap, use my proposal Gouda and Delft: one-day excursions. What are these places interesting for?Cheese capital Gouda is not only a family of world-famous cheese, but also a city of ancient architecture. Here you can see the buildings of the guilds of the XVI-XVII centuries, forming an ensemble on the central square of the city, the town hall, which looks more like a royal palace, and the most beautiful cathedral in the kingdom. There is a unique mill in Gouda, where a whole family lives. And it is also the birthplace of Erasmus, one of the most famous European philosophers of the Northern Renaissance.Our path will pass through such Gouda sights as:chocolate workshops: discover the secrets of making Dutch chocolate, enjoy a tasting and take away sweet souvenirs; bakeries of traditional Dutch sweets "stropwafel": you will try the famous waffles, prepared according to traditional recipes, and find out why they have become a symbol of Holland; family mill: a unique opportunity to visit an operating mill, get to know the family that lives in it, and see how old traditions are preserved; the largest ice cream shop in the country and its tasting, during which you will be treated to unique flavors and their unusual combinations; cheese shops: the variety of farm cheese from classic Gouda to unusual varieties with additives will impress even experienced gourmets! During the excursion, we will also reveal the secret of how Gouda garden and Gouda cheese are related, the name of which is pronounced differently in all countries of the world."Cradle" of the nation From Gouda, we will go to Delft, where the "father of the nation" William of Orange lived and ruled. It was from here that white and blue porcelain floated to all corners of the world, and the painter Vermeer created his "Girl with a Pearl Earring". The current ruling dynasty of the Netherlands originates from this city. It was in this city that the microscope was invented. And the ego is considered the cradle of international law.In Delft, historical buildings have been perfectly preserved, so lovers of antiquity will appreciate the local views. You will especially remember the leaning tower. And I will also show you where local delicacies are sold, and we will definitely try them. At the fish market, which has been in existence since the 14th century, we will receive a master class on the proper use of herring matias, and we will feast on delicious cheese and chocolate in small stalls.Excursions to the historical places of Gouda and Delft will be an ideal addition to the impression of our kingdom.
