Audio Guide of Prinsenhof Museum

The museum generally opens from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I recommend always checking the latest opening hours on its official website before you go, as they may vary on public holidays.

General adult admission is around €13.50, although reduced rates are available for children and students. If you have the Dutch Museumkaart or ICOM card, entry is usually free.

A full visit usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes, enough time to calmly enjoy the history of William of Orange and Delft pottery. It is the perfect amount of time to soak up the culture without it feeling overwhelming.

This place is crucial to Dutch history: William of Orange was assassinated here in 1584, and you can still see the original bullet holes in the wall. You will also discover the fascinating roots of the famous Delft Blue pottery.

For a quieter experience without crowds, I suggest going on a Tuesday or Wednesday right at opening time, 11:00 a.m. Spring is an ideal season to combine your visit with a walk along Delft’s canals.

Yes, the museum is largely wheelchair accessible and has lifts and adapted restrooms to ensure comfort. However, as it is a historic monumental building, check at reception if you need specific assistance.

You are right in the historic heart of the city: just next door you will find the impressive Old Church with its famous leaning tower. The Vermeer Centre Delft, dedicated to the master of light, is also very close by.

Buy your ticket online to avoid queues, and do not miss the inner courtyard of the former monastery; it is a hidden gem. To truly understand what you are seeing, pair your visit with a good audio guide that reveals the secrets of the Prince’s Court.
