Groningen heart of the province
Groningen is the bustling cultural heart of the province with attention for art and architecture, design and the Hanseatic trade league. There are friendly cafés and restaurants, wonderful theatres and high-profile festivals. The city centre has charming shopping streets and historical buildings tell their own particular story.
Since the Groningen World exhibition in 1903, Groningen has remained a festival city, whether sports, pop music, classical music, or theatre, the international Film Festival Rotterdam in Groningen or Noorderlicht is concerned.
The Grote Markt
The Grote Markt square has a daily market except for Sunday and Monday, and with a large general goods market on Tuesday and Saturday. The Grote Markt square is also the starting and finishing point to wander through various lovely streets.
Where to camp
Campsite Paterswoldsemeer – de Lijte, Haren
The campsite in Haren, nearby the city of Groningen, is one of my favourite campsites. It is located at a small sandy beach at lake Paterwoldse. During the main saison there is a big chance that all the places are occupied. There are only 5 pitches. It is not possible to make a reservation.
You can make use of the shower and toiletrooms. They are daily cleaned.
An alternative location is at the Scandinavische Dorp. Also Free of Charge
