City walks

The Groningen Store (Tourist Information Office) has various city walks you can do by yourself, such as ‘De binnenstad in 1 dag‘ which takes in the very best spots and locations in the city centre. Learn all about Groningen’s trade and industry from the Middle Ages to today in ‘Hanze en Ondernemerslust’, and take in our famous red brick houses and modern street art as you follow the ‘Kunst en Architectuur’ route. Alternatively, enjoy a well-deserved break at one of the many ‘Hofjes en Gasthuizen’ in the city.

The Groninger Gidsen Team has various tours and city walks to choose from if you prefer to go with a guide. Take in surprising architecture, art and history in addition to the people and stories the city has in store for you.

The only way to take in the inventive and pragmatic character of Groningen is by going off the beaten track. This city walk introduces you to some less well-known parts of the city. Ignore the well-trodden paths to take in some art that is easily overlooked in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We would love for you to see Groningen in an entirely different light and take this route to show how well the rough edges go with the beauty of the city.
