Station Groningen

Despite the struggle I face sometimes in understanding the difference between direct trains to other stations, or even specific stops to board nearby stations in order to reach the main station, Groningen Train Station is fun to ride when on travel, and visiting new cities you’ve never been to before. I’ve used the train to Amsterdam at least 4 times to get to the airport, and I’m extremely happy that the staff in both stations are helpful, practical and do their best to explain how to choose between the stations and where to top-up my card, or even places to sip a drink or to snack. What’s even lovelier is the location of the train station near the Groninger Museum located near the river, surrounded by beautiful nature while people do their boating or canoeing activities. 💐💐🥰🥰

Groningen is a Lovely City where you can see many tourist attraction, like the city itself: Martina Tower, you can see the beautiful church while walking in the heart of the city. A very old church. The famous market, The boats at the Damsterdiep. Museum, Theater, Famous Univercity, Library and many more. Btw: Some Restaurant are open now coz, due to the pandemic they were closed. For more info. pls. look to the Google,. 😃👍🥂

All though the building is absolutely amazing. I believe one of the most beautiful Railway stations in the Netherlands, it was not very functional. During our visit, there were some construction work going on, and that made it even more bizarre. The only place where you could seat down was in the middle, but it was a cold rainy day (in the summer) and the doors were opening on both side, so it was really cold to seat down at the seating area. Instead of that we were standing in a corner, while waiting on our train to arrive. Unfortunately enough there was no roof outside either, so in the case of a rainy weather, you definitely want to stay dry and warm. Otherwise, there are enough little shops to get something to chew on it. AH to go, Julia, Kioks, Smullers, just to name a few.

Superb location for all kinds of photography, great to spend hours armed with camera and lenses. Been several times. With the train of course also great, that thing is the same throughout the country :-)
