Make the Most of Your Groningen Stay

A youthful city with centuries of history

Groningen thrives as the Netherlands' youngest city, where over 60,000 students energize streets dating back to its days as a Hanseatic trading port. The 97-meter Martinitoren has watched over the Grote Markt since 1482, while the Groninger Museum and Forum Groningen showcase bold contemporary design. This compact northern capital earned its "World Cycling City" designation honestly—bicycles outnumber cars, and the flat, car-restricted center makes two wheels the natural choice.

Dining and creative energy

The culinary landscape reflects both tradition and innovation, from Michelin-starred Restaurant Noor to lively terraces around the Vismarkt. The Ebbingekwartier, a transformed gasworks site, now hosts creative spaces and The Social Hub with co-working facilities for business travelers. Bars famously operate without closing times, though the atmosphere remains welcoming—this city balances spirited nightlife with genuine substance.

Beyond the city center

Direct trains reach Amsterdam Schiphol in 2 hours, while UNESCO-protected Wadden Islands and the star-shaped fortress village of Bourtange make compelling day trips. Members can use miles to secure accommodations near the historic center, positioning yourself to experience why locals insist nothing tops Groningen.
