Papengang
The Papengang is an alleyway right in the heart of Groningen’s nightlife district. If you venture off the beaten track, you may sometimes come across some rather shady spots. Although a bit of an edgy vibe can be quite exciting.
Situated right in the heart of the city’s nightlife district, this alleyway used to have a rather poor reputation. Since the start of this year, the illustrious alley has been given a new look. Literally. From a dingy alleyway to an attractive backstreet. Artists Klaas Boter, Iris Kruizinga, Loes Faber, Matthieu Keuter van Lewenborg, the duo Vaaf and Hans Vos have transformed the Papengang into a colourful and luminous gateway to Groningen’s nightlife.
