Nothing tops Groningen
Grand adventures, you experience them in Groningen. With your feet in the clay of the vast polders. Sailing past seals on a bed of sand. In a sturdy, centuries-old church. Or in a side street somewhere, wandering through the city. Our space is our wealth. This is where you come to rest and to live. Happy you are in Groningen.

Discover Groningen
You only really discover the quirky character of Groningen when you venture into the province. Get off the beaten track and have adventures you'll never forget. Lucky you are in Groningen.
Westerkwartier
In the Westerkwartier, wierden, borgen, mills and churches have marked the horizon in the Groningen landscape for centuries. Nature, heritage and special light have therefore inspired many a painter.

Midden-Groningen
Midden-Groningen is the green-blue heart of the province. Water lakes to sail on, marshes to cycle along, village forests to walk in and reed beds to spot birds. City life here seems far away, but it is closer than you think.

Oldambt
Grain production in Oldambt led to stony farmers, local communism and huge red-brick factories. The flame went out, but the fire of de Graanrepubliek continued to smoulder. Full of activity and events, this region is worth visiting.

Veenkoloniën
Adventurers sought their fortune in the Veenkoloniën. Their pioneering work resulted in a special landscape with an equally special history. Many monumental houses in villages that lie like ribbons along the canals recall this past.
