Groningen, the capital of the province of the same name, is a dynamic city located in the northern part of the Netherlands. With a population of over 206,000 residents, it stands as the largest city in the northern region. Historically, Groningen was an autonomous city-state, thriving as a member of the Hanseatic League, which connected it to a vast trade network in northern Europe.

The city’s layout, with lively markets and charming canals, invites exploration and discovery.
