Groningen – Out and about in Groningen with Marian

Our blogger Marian has lived in many different places in the Netherlands in her life. Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, North Holland, South Holland and Overijssel. So she is an ideal blogger for OpstapmetLisa to tell us about many different nice places in the Netherlands. This time she gives us great tips for visiting Groningen!

Are you going to Groningen soon?

Then climb the Martini tower, what a view! And wander around the city, there is so much beauty to discover!

The Martini Church

In the Martini Church there is art by Egbert Modderman, you must remember that name! It is freely accessible and you can relax in the oasis of peace and the beautiful paintings of Egbert! For example, he has painted the seven works of mercy in a modern way.

Would you like to visit the church with a group and learn more about the church and its history? Then you can also book a guided tour that will take you either through the nave, or through the nave and vaults of the church.

A snack and drink at Feel Good

During our Groningen city trip, we went to the Feel Good. A breakfast and lunch café where you can get the most delicious food and drinks throughout the day. From American Chocolate Pancakes and Bali Breakfast to feel good bowls and meals like burgers, wraps and much more. Olala, that’s where I would want to crash for a whole day with a book. From coffee to lunch, smoothie to dinner…. i couldn’t choose!

My oldest son got my culinary inkling: enjoying all the new flavors, he was full of joy, just like me! Truly fan-tas-tastic, you must have been here! How delicious, how fresh, how healthy! And what a good atmosphere! You can find this must-visit on the Oude Kijk in ‘t Jatstraat.

Oude Kijk in ‘t Jatstraat

In this nice place you will find many more nice stores. For example, there are many special (interior) stores with a varied selection. Especially if you are a fan of vintage, you should definitely not skip this shopping street. But also if you are looking for a good book, a gift or a place to just relax, Oude Kijk in ‘t Jatstraat is the place to be!

The best cocktails in the Netherlands can be found in Groningen

And not because Erik Beeftink is my cousin, but mainly because he is the best Bartender in Groningen and perhaps in the whole of the Netherlands: at the end of the afternoon you can go to The Stockroom! It takes some searching but once you find it, you want to go back every night! Recently they won the Entree Award for best cocktail bar in the Netherlands. Yes, this is where you want to go!!!

Want to get more tips from me about Groningen, Alphen aan den Rijn or any of the other places I love? Then keep following my blogs on OpstapmetLisa!
