About Groningen: Walking Tour with Local Guide

This walking tour typically lasts around 2 to 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore Groningen's highlights at a comfortable pace with your local guide.

During your 1.5 hour walking tour (max. 20 guests per group) you will see, feel, smell, hear about the history, present and future of the city of Groningen. With your guide you will explore the historical city-centre. The 1000-years old metropolis of the North of the Netherlands will embrace you. Be amazed by this vibrant student town. See Renaissance combined with modern architecture. Look around and enjoy the green squares, the tower, the people, the stories you will be told. You will make unforgettable memories during your visit! The tour starts at the brand new Forum Groningen (reception) where you will learn all about technical innovations, modern culture and actuality. Your guide will take you on a walk and to see the New Market Square and de Martini-toren. Continuing your tour you will see so much more, like the office of the Commisionar of the King, the Palace of the 17th and 18th century Regents, the City-Hall situated on the Grote Marktsquare, the Gold-office and the Academic Building. Enjoy the beautiful yellow tower of the A-church and step back 800 years when you are exploring the oldest harbour of Groningen. Of course, you can not miss the old Folkingestraat with it's Jewish history and (not part of the tour on Sundays) the impressive Pepergasthuis, the shelter place for pilgrims who came to worship until the end of the 16th century, the relic of Saint John the Baptist. At the end of the tour, ending at the Forum Groningen again, use the electric stair-cases to discover the 45m. high platform yourself. The view is breath-taking.
