Everybody is feeling at home in Groningen
Groningen is the northern city f Nederlands, which throughout the thousand years of history has become five cities in one. This is the city of our dreams, the city in which to work, a city in which to live, a city in which to study. This is a city of knowledge, a city of growth and a city of culture.
Everybody is feeling at home in Groningen. It is a spacious, comfortable and generous house for everyone. Yet on your very doorstep are the wide open expanses of nature in all its glory.
The city centre boasts no fewer than 160 bars, cafés and discotheques, and scores of open-air terraces on which to enjoy a balmy summer evening. There is something for everyone - from the traditional Dutch 'brown café' to the trendiest hi-tech. And because Groningen is the 'youngest' city in the Netherlands (there are many students and over half the population are under thirty-five) these bars are not only lively at weekends, but on weekdays as well.
The city is rich in history and offers plenty for the visitor to see... The central square, Grote Markt, has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years.
Groningen offers excellent accessibility by road, by water and air; it has direct inland waterway connections with the seaports at Delfzijl and Eemshaven.
The public park Noorderplantsoen north of the city centre is a popular place for recreation and sports, especially for students. Annually, the theater and crossover festival Noorderzon takes place in the park. Take your time and plan a visit to Groningen, find the appropriate hotel with prontohotel.
