Groningen, known for its vibrant culture and rich history, offers various accommodation options and hidden experiences. Here are some useful tips for a rewarding stay.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Approximately 75% of Groningen's hotels are situated close to scenic parks and canals - like the Hotel Schimmelpenninck Huys, which features beautiful gardens.
Local Hack: Request a 'fietshuur' (bike rental) when checking in; many hotels in Groningen provide this service for free or at a minimal cost, letting you explore the city like a local.
Hidden Gem: Check out the Noorderplantsoen park (just 12 minutes from downtown), where lush landscapes and quiet paths offer a perfect retreat away from the tourist scene.
Smart Tip: Consider booking your stay midweek. Hotel prices in Groningen can be up to 35% lower on Tuesdays and Wednesdays due to decreased demand.
