City walks

Prefer to explore with a guide? The Groninger Gidsenteam offers a range of tours and city walks to choose from. Discover surprising architecture, art and history – and, of course, the people and stories of the city.

Several city walks are available at the Groningen Store (TOURIST INFORMATION) that you can do yourself. For example, discover the best of the heart of the city with the walk 'The inner city in 1 day'. Get to know quirky business activity from the Middle Ages to the present day in 'Hanseatic and Entrepreneurial Spirit'.Admire our famous red bricks and modern street art during the route along our 'Art and Architecture'. Or unwind in our city's many 'Courtyards and Guesthouses'.

You can only truly experience Groningen’s quirky, down-to-earth character when you venture off the beaten track. This city walk takes you along the undiscovered side of the city. We’ll go off the beaten track and discover ‘off the beaten art’: art that doesn’t really stand out in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We challenge you to look at Groningen with fresh eyes. Thanks to this route, you’ll discover just how well the city’s rough edges complement its beauty.
