Grote Markt is one of the main stops on any tourist visit. Learn about its historical background or just sit back and watch the world pass by.

Grote Markt is a great place kick off your day in Groningen. This public square is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other sights like Groninger Museum, University of Groningen, and Martiniplaza to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.
