The one old harbour that survived the war — gabled houses along a working canal, a windmill, and the church the Pilgrim Fathers prayed in before sailing for America. A quiet, historic pocket of the Holland you pictured, west of the centre.

What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 9.Historic Delfshaven — The rare survivor — a genuine old Dutch harbour of stepped gables and a working windmill along a quiet canal, west of the centre. The prettiest, most 'Holland' corner of Rotterdam, and blessedly free of crowds. Best on a slow morning.
- 14.The Pilgrim Fathers' Church — The plain Gothic church in Delfshaven where the Pilgrim Fathers gathered to pray in 1620 before boarding the Speedwell for the New World. A quiet, moving stop with a big place in American history, right on the old harbour.
