" ''Enjoy liveliness and calmness'' "
Visit the regions - The whole province is worth seeing. From north to south and oost to west. Each region has its own character and splendour. Walk past centuries-old borgen, through enchanting forests or walk on the bottom of the sea.
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.

Waddenland
In Waddenland, you walk on the bottom of the sea and sleep under a true Dark Sky. Here you will find the National Park Lauwersmeer and UNESCO World Heritage Site the Wadden Sea; unique areas where nature is still truly central.

Eemsdelta
Historic Appingedam with its hangende keukens. And in the backyard the Dollard and the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll find it in Eems Delta. The medieval churches on the centuries-old mounds proudly tower above the vast landscape here.

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.

City
Looking out over the rooftops from the Martinitoren or walking through the centuries-old states, you can feel the energy of the city of Groningen. The city is bursting with undiscovered gems, cosy boutiques and small-scale quality restaurants.
