Spend the night at a Van der Valk hotel in Groningen

In the province of Groningen, you can enjoy beautiful natural areas as well as visiting the city center and various museums. There is plenty to do in this city for all ages!

For example, you can visit the Prinsentuin. This is perhaps the most relaxing place in Groningen. Here you can take a lovely walk through the garden or sit on a bench and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Visiting the garden's tea room is also great fun! Besides the nature reserves, there is plenty else to experience in Groningen, for example, visit the Pieterburen Seal Center or the Muzeeaquarium in Delfzijl. The Pieterburen Seal Center is the oldest and best-known seal sanctuary. Various events and activities are organized here, highly recommended for the whole family!

Rather spend a day downtown? There is plenty to do here as well! The center of Groningen is full of beautiful historic buildings that are worth a visit. For example, you can climb the 97-meter-high Martinitoren and enjoy the view over the entire center of Groningen. Another fun activity is Forum Groningen, this is the ideal day out for those curious about the world of today and the possibilities of tomorrow. Forum Groningen's facilities include Storyworld, 5 atmospheric movie theaters, the Smartlab and a cozy restaurant where you can grab a bite to eat. And all with a phenomenal view!

Are you an avid hiker? In the north of the country, you can of course head out for a 3-hour mudflat walk on the Pieterburen mudflats. Enjoy the view as you stroll along the “bottom” of the sea.

In short, there is plenty to experience in beautiful Groningen!
