Groningen is for those who go further. For those who seek summer not on the beaten track, but in festivals with guts, where strangers are your friends. An underground nightlife without closing time and crawl-through alleys full of street art. Quirky galleries and museums where you are unexpectedly touched. Here it is buzzing with free spirits going their own way.

 

New stories in old stones

""Groningen: where you get lost in a city too small to lose your way" "
