About Inside Groningen

Your guide to everything Groningen has to offer.

Groningen is a vibrant university city full of international students, expats and tourists. Yet, after our round-the-world trip, we noticed something remarkable: the city is still very much geared towards Dutch speakers. For those who don’t speak the language (well), it’s difficult to really find your way around.

Why Inside Groningen?

Whilst CNN proclaimed Groningen to be the ultimate alternative to Amsterdam and the city was voted one of the best places in Europe in 2019, the provision of information for internationals lagged behind. As experienced travel bloggers, we knew exactly what was missing: a central platform with practical tips and the best hotspots, written in a language everyone can understand.
