Groningen has been an important city in terms of architecture and urban design for decades. In recent years, there has been frequent focus on current projects, such as the Forum Groningen, the Kunstwerf, the renewal of City Hall and the redevelopment of the Grote Markt – the heart of the city for a thousand years.

But Groningen has architectural treasures from every period, ranging from the Martinitoren and medieval guest houses, to 19th-century ‘grain cathedrals’ (imposing villa farmhouses with an enormous adjoining granary), expressionist social housing and avant-garde pavilions in public spaces. Apart from these – and many more – architectural highlights, the guide also gives tips for the most enjoyable restaurants and cafés, urban locations under development and hidden oases to unwind in.
