Can you guess where this city is? Everyone talks Can you guess where this city is?

Everyone talks about visiting Amsterdam when they go to the Netherlands… but what about this city?

I spent a week exploring the country and made it a goal to visit a different city each day. Some were bigger, some quieter — but one felt like stepping straight into a Dutch painting.

Right in the heart of it all was Delft. A canal-laced city of leaning church towers, flower-lined bridges and the iconic blue-and-white pottery you instantly recognise. Delft is the birthplace of Johannes Vermeer, the artist behind Girl with a Pearl Earring, and a place where art, history and everyday Dutch life quietly intertwine.

It also holds royal significance. William of Orange is buried inside Nieuwe Kerk, beginning a tradition that continues for the Dutch royal family today. Just across town, the slightly leaning Oude Kerk stands taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa and watches over the canals below.

If you’re planning a visit, here’s what I’d recommend:

🏛️ Royal Delft – The last remaining Delftware factory from the 17th century. You can watch artists hand-paint the famous Delfts Blauw ceramics and learn how this blue-and-white style became a symbol of the Netherlands.

🎨 Vermeer Centrum Delft – A deep dive into Vermeer’s life, the Dutch Golden Age and the Delft School of painting. Even if you’re not an art expert, it gives you a whole new appreciation for the city’s atmosphere.

🙇🏻‍♀️ Market Square – One of the largest and most impressive town squares in the country. Surrounded by historic buildings, cafés and the two iconic churches, it’s the perfect place to slow down with a coffee and simply take it all in.

🛶 A canal cruise – Cruising through the narrow canals gives you a completely different perspective of the brick facades, arching bridges and quiet courtyards tucked away from the main streets.

🚶🏻‍♀️ A slow wander through the Old Town – No strict itinerary needed. Peek into antique stores and let yourself get slightly lost among the canals.

🚆 How to get here? Just about an hour by train from Amsterdam.

Over the past year, I’ve been quietly shifting into a low-buy mindset — not extreme, not restrictive, just more intentional. Small habits, small swaps, small mindset shifts that have genuinely changed how I spend and what I prioritise.

If you’re in your twenties (or honestly any age) and want to stretch your money further while building a life that actually feels full, this is for you.

💬 What’s one way you’ve been consuming less lately?

If you’re chasing autumn leaves or planning a slow weekend outdoors, here are some of the best places to soak it all in:

🍁 S&R Orchards @srorchardeventsperth – They’re hosting their autumn festival on selected weekends in May and June, with orchard views, seasonal produce and that classic Perth Hills charm.

🍁 The Bickley Harvest Festival is back, celebrating the flavours and creativity of the Bickley Valley. Expect rolling vineyard views in autumn tones, boutique cellar doors, tastings, workshops and plenty of local fare. 

🍁 Araluen Botanic Park @araluenbotanicpark 

🍁 Subiaco Common, @seesubiaco

🍁 Raeburn Orchard,  @raeburnorchards - $5 entry, with persimmon season running from 1–31 May. A sweet little outing in the Perth Hills.

🍁 Hyde Park - Beautiful reflections in the lake framed by golden trees.

🍁 Borello Park, Roleystone - A quiet gem in the hills when the leaves begin to fall.
