Groningen

Groningen is a lively city that has much to offer in terms of culture and events, beautiful historic monuments like the Martini Tower, great shopping districts for a wonderful shopping spree, and excellent restaurants. It is well known as a student city, having over 50,000 students, which makes for a fun and busy atmosphere. With a population slightly less than 200,000 people, Groningen is by no means the largest city in the region, but it remains one of the most important in all of the Netherlands.
