Enjoy your (Friday) afternoon drinks in the sun with locals. Their terrace is on the south-west so when the weather is good, it's always busy from 15:00 hrs onwards. Not a place to have diver, however they have decent finger food with your drinks.

Food scene

High-end dining in Delft, it is possible. 20 minutes walk from the apartment crossing the beautiful old centre so a perfect walk on you way back as well.

Delicious ice cream. Open till 10 PM (closed on Sundays though). Be prepared for a long waiting line especially in the early evenings when it is warm. Do as the locals do: just stand in line; it is worth it.

Verkehrsmittel

Train and tram

Trains in the direction of The Hague and Rotterdam leave about every 10 minutes from the station. Tickets for the train can be bought in the 'NS app' which also has a travel planner. If you are travelling with children, it is generally cheaper to buy a day ticket for them rather than return tickets. For the tram to The Hague, it is easy to buy a day ticket in the HTM ticket app. Payment can be done with credit card.
