“The Martinitoren (Martini Tower) is the highest church steeple in the city of Groningen. It is 97meters high and was completed in 1482. You can climb to the top (no elevators) and it gives you an amazing view of the city. Try to find your temporary home - as you can see it from there :-)”

“Best place in the city for chilling with just a blanket and a bottle of wine. I love to watch people and chat with my friends over here. ”

“Cinema. All Dutch movies have subtitles, so you can also easily follow the movie if you do not speak Dutch :-)”

“The city Groningen is living and the most beautiful city in the Netherlands. It is only 20 minutes by car!”

“Not only a lovely building to see, but the regular stage for comedians, artists and performers. About 20 min walk from the appartment”

“I highly recommend the " brakke brunch" on the Sunday. From 11.30 till 15u. For 13euro its " all you can eat" Its located at a nice square with an outside terrace. ”

“especially on Friday and Saturday an extensive food market. famous for fresh fish, dutch cheese, meat and vegetables.”

“Get your fresh groceries (cheese, vegetables, fish, meat, nuts) at the local market on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 9.00-17.00 Local tip; if you are going around 16.00 on a Saturday you will be able to get fresh flowers for a bargain. They bundle several bouquets and you can buy them for 5 or 6 euro.”

“The other best bar in Groningen for drinks is surely De Pintelier, which was not only voted best bar of the city but also the second best bar of the Netherlands. It features a wide selection of Belgian beers (I grudgingly admit their superiority) and is absolutely wonderful for atmosphere. Of course, being that famous, it’s often incredibly crowded. If you should go here and it’s full, you’ll be happy to know that the other bars close by are good as well.”
