Great Market Groningen focal point of the city at night.
At the foot of the Martinitoren lies the Grote Markt. A place where trade has traditionally been conducted. The square has also been home to the historic city hall for two hundred years. Here you stroll past the market stalls. Or take a seat on one of the terraces.
On the square, you are surrounded by distinctive buildings. Central is the town hall. This building from 1810 is the heart of Groningen politics. For more than 200 years, decisions on the city's future have been taken here. On the other side of the Grote Markt you will find the region's most iconic building, the Martini Tower. Wars were won and lost on the pavement of this 97-metre-high gem. The tower stood its ground and is still the city's tallest building. Climb up and look out over the whole region.
