Groningen guides

Welcome to the historic city of Groningen, laced with canals and gabled roofs in the northeast corner of the Netherlands. Its large student population (stemming from a 400 year-old university) keeps the town humming at night, while the shops, museums and cafes of its historic centre provides plenty of daytime charm. A local guide is waiting to walk you through centuries of history on a private Groningen tour. You may want to start at Grote Markt, a bustling square and market at the heart of the city. From here your guide can take you on a winding stroll past Groningen's lovely streets and canals, learning about the city's great architectural traditions. Try a drink of a traditional Hooghoudt liquor, or coffee at a local café. If you'd like to explore beyond the city, your guide will be happy to take you out exploring the estate houses, national parks and churches that dot the surrounding Dutch countryside. Enjoy a local's company on your private Groningen tour!
