Travel
Getting to Delft
The city of Delft is located about halfway between The Hague (Den Haag) and Rotterdam.
Delft has two train stations:
- The main one Delft (“Delft Station” on travel planners) has frequent Intercity (IC) connections from Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, and other Dutch cities.
- The smaller Delft Campus station has only Sprinter connections – Intercity trains do not stop there.
You can reach Amsterdam and Rotterdam by high-speed trains from Belgium and France (Thalys) and from England (Eurostar).
The closest airports to Delft are Schiphol Airport (AMS) and Rotterdam-The Hague Airport (RTM).
- Schiphol Airport has train connections to Delft (usually every 15 minutes). Some connections are direct, for others you need to change at Leiden.
- Rotterdam-The Hague Airport has bus connections to Rotterdam.
To determine your route and travel time to (or in) Delft you can use 9292.
In Delft
The main bus and tram station in Delft is next to Delft train station. Bus routes 40, 69, and 174 go from the station directly to the venue. The bus stop to get off at is Delft, Berlageweg. The ride takes about 10 minutes.
Walking to the venue from the main Delft station takes about 30 minutes (2.5 km), and from Delft Campus train station about 15 minutes (1.3 km).
Train and bus tickets
For tourists and short stay visitors it is advised to use an anonymous OV-chipcard, it’s the most common way to travel by all forms of public transportation in The Netherlands. This is a blue-coloured card with no personal details on it, and can therefore be used by anyone (but not for group travel). You can buy an OV-chipcard at the train station at an NS (Dutch Railways) ticketing machine or NS service desk. It can also be bought at large supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo) or tobacco shops (Primera, Readshop, Bruna). The price is €7.50. It remains valid for 5 years.
The OV-chipcard gives you access to travel in 2nd class. You need a balance of at least €20 to travel by train. You can charge credit on your OV-chipcard at the ticket machines at the train stations and tobacco shops. Once credit has been charged onto your card, you can check in at the designated posts or turnstiles, which are usually located close to or on the platform. Don’t forget to check out once you leave any form of public transport!
In trams and buses you can also buy a paper day-ticket or a single-use, disposable chipcard instead of an anonymous OV-chipcard. For metros you can buy a ticket at the ticket machines near the platform or metro station.
Note: Most ticket machines do not accept cash, nor do buses and trams.
Accommodation
We recommend that you stay at Hotel Arsenaal or Hotel Grand Canal. These hotels are conveniently located within 5 minutes walking distance of Delft’s main station, between the station and the university campus.
Blocks of rooms have been reserved at these hotels for WG 2.11 meeting participants, for arrival on Sunday 2nd April and departure Thursday 6th April.
The organiser has now circulated additional information on the WG 2.11 mailing list about booking these rooms.
Booking deadline: Monday 30th January. Note: The number of rooms available is limited, and the rooms are made available on a first-come first-served basis. Rooms not booked by the end of January will be released, to avoid potential cancellation charges.
Participants are welcome to book rooms directly – either at the same hotels, or at other hotels in Delft, such as Ibis Styles Hotel, WestCord Hotel, and The Social Hub.

Touristic information
Delft is known for many things. The first things that would come to mind are Delft’s Blue Pottery, the painter Johannes Vermeer, and the University of Technology. But Delft also played a very important role in history of the Dutch Golden Age and the reigning of the Dutch royals (House of Orange-Nassau). It is recommended to visit Prinsenhof Museum for the history of the Dutch royals. Stroll down the city centre to visit the Old and New Churches, where you’ll find the graves of Johannes Vermeer and one of our first leaders: Willem of Orange.
