I fell in love with this city! I was blown away by The Forum! We went back a second time to see more. If we'd had time, I would've liked to go back at night to see the stars and the city at night, particularly the Martini Tourin. I think it's beautiful! And so are the other churches. We ate at pubs and like to have desserts in different places than dinner so we can walk a bit in between, so we had desserts in lots of different types of places. Sometimes at fancy restaurants, and sometimes at bakeries we could find still open, once we had dessert on a rooftop terrace. We walked almost everywhere in Groningen, but driving was easy. I think the next time we will go in the early fall and hope for less wind and rain. It was quite cold and windy for April.

The hotel was pretty good, it is more beautiful that the pictures, the only things is the check in is by call, No one greeted me at the entrance, everything was done over the phone, one person gave me the instructions. but I recommend, is near the centrum.

Groningen is a great town, feels very safe and everything you would like to see is at a walkable distance. I may be prejudiced as I have lived there before, but it's even more pedestrian friendly than it already was.

Nice city center to walk around. Good place to spend couple of days. Despite on many bicycles crossing everywhere, a lot of young people, Groningen center gives me a sense of tranquillity. Maybe it is due to absence of car/moto noise around.

A beautiful and vibrant city . A great balance between old and the modern symbolised by Martini Tower and the Forum sitting side by side. Walking around is very easy and it's great to see so few cars. Be wary of bicycle riders though. Wide selection of restaurants available though be aware that it would be difficult to find a kitchen open after 9 pm.

Groningen is a beautiful city, built beautiful in the same timeperiod as Amsterdam. It's less touristy, unfortunately, the city council has been Post-Modernising the architecture in an attempt to deal a crucial blow to the 'pittoresque-ness' of the place. This is not Warsaw, which got re-built after being blown to smithereens after WW2 this is Groningen, with its many style-corrupting building permits for the last 70 years (or since World War 2). The Vindicat Building of prior to WW2 had black collumns, the Naberpassage after WW2 was a mastodont of mediocrity that's recently been replaced by a spaceship or just a warehouse-type-building-housing a library -depending who you ask. Visit: Bourtanghe (fortrest on the eastern border, Pittoresque! Visit 'Het Pannekoekenschip' Visit : 'De Vismarkt' (spices, fish, vegetables free dumpsterdiving upon market- closingtime). Visit: the Cinema's (Pathe and Forum Images in the Groninger Forum structure). Visit: the Kanton-Groningen (courthouse). Visit: the Cityhall. Visit: the University, the old building that is. Visit: the many café's, bistro's, but keep your cost of living in check by visiting the 'Aldi'mart to the south of the centre and the Nazzar to the north of the centre. Visit: the Noorder Plantsoen for a quiet walk. Visit: Het Stadspark for one closer to a highway. Visit: Paterswoldse Meer (Eelde Paterswolde / Hoornse meer (same lake but on the Groningen Side. Now this is relevant: the restaurants on the south side of the 'Paterswoldse Meer' are mutch better than the one on the north, south though, not south-west. Visit: Zuid-Westhoek to rent a boat for a boatride over the like. Visit Zuidlaardermeer! (cheaper boat rent, lesser restaurants.
