Attractions of Groningen

Groningen is a city full of beautiful buildings. Its symbol is the slightly sloping tower of St. Martin's Church, known as Martinitoren. It is well worth climbing it to enjoy the views of the city from the top. This church is the oldest church in the city. The interactive Groningen Museum with its collections of modern art, design, fashion and many interesting temporary exhibitions is also a big attraction here. The University of Groningen Museum, full of medical exhibits, is also worth a visit, as is the Maritime Museum with replicas of old boats.

Commuting to Groningen

Groningen is connected to the Dutch-German border to the east and Amsterdam to the west by the A7 highway, and the A28 highway, located within the city limits, leads all the way to Utrecht. The nearest airport is located 15 kilometers south of the city center, in Eelde. There are three train stations in Groningen, with the main one located just over a kilometer from the Grote Markt. A bus station, serving both domestic and international routes, is located right next to it.

Most of the city's sights and attractions are fairly close together and, with the center closed to traffic, can be explored on foot.
