About Groningen

Groningen, also known as The City of Talent, is one of the youngest and most vibrant cities in the Netherlands (Or maybe even the world?!). That makes it the best place to enjoy unique cultural events, as well as experience the amazing atmosphere of the North - beautiful, compact and, hey, this city never sleeps!

Groningen by day is abundant with pop-up events, exhibitions, markets, cafes, festivals, films and gatherings with the ultimate laid back atmosphere.

While Groningen by night always keeps its promise to give you the best live music and parties; even boasting an extensive underground and 'upperground' scene. One thing we know for sure: there's a spot to everyone’s taste! Wanna find yours?
