See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: away from other cities and frequent wind and rain. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Martinikerk
The Martinikerk stands out as a spiritual and architectural landmark, with clear vertical lines and a precise play of light inside. Its strength is better captured by entering through the various axes, from the outside to the main space.
Museum
Groninger Museum
The Groninger Museum puts exhibitions at the heart of an architecture that changes the atmosphere according to the rooms. The journey is almost cinematic: we move from short plays to more immersive areas, then come back to the overall look.
Cultural Belvedere
Forum Groningen
The Groningen Forum functions as a cultural viewpoint in the heart of the city, with its interior plateaux, open stairs and roof-facing terrace. It moves from a library to an exhibition or cinema room, then to an urban view that helps to capture the compact Groningen structure.
Park
Noorderplantsoen
The Noorderplantsoen offers flexible routes between water, vegetation and vegetated stopping points. It reads a greener city, with subtle changes of light that require to be accompanied by a walk without haste.
