Transportation to Groningen

The city and the surrounding area are easily accessible by public transport. By train and bus, you can get almost anywhere. Whether you go to Winsum, Eemshaven or Winschoten. Can't get anywhere by train or bus? The websites below provide more information. And while you're at Groningen station, don't forget to look up in the beautiful station hall.

When travelling by public transport, using the OV chip card or your bank card is usually the quickest and cheapest way to travel. On many routes, you will pay less than with a bus or train ticket. Do you prefer travelling with a separate ticket? At the ticket machines at the train station you can buy both regional and national train tickets. Online, you can buy your e-ticket at the NS. Tickets for the bus can be bought from the driver, but here you can only pay with PIN/credit card. Online, you can easily order your ticket via the Q-buzz website. On weekends, holidays and public holidays, you can travel unlimited by bus for €12.50 with a Broezz'nkaart.

Fancy making nice trips around Groningen, but no public transport nearby? With the hub taxi, you can travel to a hub within a 20-kilometre radius. A hub is a bus stop or train station of your choice. That's handy if you live further away from a bus stop or train station and can't get to a hub by bike, on foot or any other way. Back home again? No problem, the hub taxi will also take you home again. All hubs are listed at www.reisviahub.nl.

Enjoying a day in the city? Fortunately, Groningen is easily accessible by car. The easiest way is to park your car at a P+R on the outskirts of the city. The bus, (electric) bicycle or shared scooter takes care of the last bit. If you do take your car into the city centre, you can park briefly for a quick errand; half an hour maximum. Staying a bit longer? Then follow the P route if you want to use the underground car parks in the city centre.
