Historic Delfshaven Walking Tour

With this city walk you will discover historic Delfshaven, a surprising and unique part of predominantly modern Rotterdam. Once founded by Delft to gain access to the sea, Delfshaven has a history that goes back more than 600 years. There is a lot to tell about this picturesque district.

The Delfshaven City Walk covers a lot of colorful history. Think of the Pilgrim Fathers, old mills, historical figures, the VOC (the first joint-stock companies in the world) and the distilleries that have colored Delfshaven over time. From the legendary naval hero Piet Hein to the internationally renowned painter Kees van Dongen. And from the famous Pilgrim Fathers Church to the city brewery De Pelgrim where you can enjoy a craft steam beer.

In 2020 it was 400 years ago that the Pilgrim Fathers left Delfshaven for America and eventually settled on the east coast of America in Massachusetts. This important moment in American history was commemorated worldwide in 2020. Because the Pilgrim Fathers are considered the ‘founding fathers’ of the US, Delfshaven is of more interest to Americans than average.
