Group outings in Groningen

We have had our share of alone time for now. So it is high time to round up your group of friends, football team, student club or the people from your favourite app group and do something fun together. As of old. What to do in Groningen? We picked the best group outings for you.

From a bird’s-eye view

At 97 metres, the Martinitoren is still the city’s tallest building. Climb to the top together for a taste of tangible history and a fantastic view. Don’t count on a lift. Climbing ‘d’Olle Grieze’, our old grey one, is hard work. It’s no surprise that most visitors spend about an hour inside. But this group workout is richly rewarded.

Learning about Groningen whilst walking

Walking allows you to see more of Groningen. Especially if you are with a large group. Set out your own route along your favourite spots in the city or choose a surprising city walk that has already been mapped out for you. For example, get the best out of the city with the walk De binnenstad in 1 day or discover hidden street art with the Kunstroute. Don't feel like guiding yourself? Then have the group in tow by an enthusiastic, experienced guide from the Groninger Guides Team.

Out on the water

From the water, Groningen looks completely different. That makes a boat trip a surprising experience for everyone. Whether you know the city well or not. An ideal group activity therefore. Hire a sloop or go for a sporty sup experience.

Group activity with jeu

Boules a camping game? No. You can play it all year round, and be sure to bring along all your friends. You can throw a ball indoors at BOEL, Groningen's only boules bar, and don't forget to drink a tasty Groningen cocktail after the game.

Enjoy, drink in moderation

Did you know that Groningen was once the granary of the Netherlands? No wonder, then, that this region has a rich beer history. Locally brewed beers have taken off in recent years. In the city, Baxbier and Brouwerij Martinus are the best-known brewers. Bring your friends for a beer in the tasting room and stick a tour to it as well.

Exploring the City & province by e-bike

Curious about what else there is to see and do outside the city centre? Then hop on a bike. Or an e-bike. You can hire these in the city, and they’re ideal for groups. That way, everyone can take a turn at the front of the pack, regardless of age or fitness level. They come in all shapes and sizes, but these e-choppers and e-fatbikes are definitely very cool.

Pub quiz

Nothing promotes team spirit like an old-fashioned pub quiz. Together, you compete against other teams and answer questions on a variety of topics. De Toeter has been home to a weekly bilingual pub quiz on Wednesdays and Sundays for more than 15 years. Crazy about the music round? Then Buckshot Café Café's Thursday Buckquiz might be for you. Here, besides questions on current affairs and general topics, you'll get lots of music questions above all else. This way, you will also gain some knowledge while enjoying a drink.
