Annely's favourite restaurant in Groningen. It's a Mexican restaurant and has nice options to choose from, also for vegetarians. The owner Ton (the woman with red hair) is always warm and welcoming to everyone! Don't forget to order your Mojioto. Mocktails available too :-)

Get your fresh groceries (cheese, vegetables, fish, meat, nuts) at the local market on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 9.00-17.00 Local tip; if you are going around 16.00 on a Saturday you will be able to get fresh flowers for a bargain. They bundle several bouquets and you can buy them for 5 or 6 euro.

Annely's favourite place to get a cup of tea, coffee or an early glass of wine. The coziness and handsome waiters give you enough comfort to have a nice conversation and to relax after a stroll in the city.

Haiko's favourite place to grab a quick snack while the ladies preparing the house for the new guests. Only 3 minutes away from the house.

Nearest supermarket to the house. But Albert Heijn is just a few steps further and has a nicer assortment!

Annely's favourite supermarket is definitely Albert Heijn. When she's in the Netherlands she often buys; Tony Chocolonely chocolate bar (caramel sea salt, orange package), “mais brood” (corn flour bread) with fresh egg spread and Hamka's crisps. At Albert Heijn’s inhouse bakery they have also delicious "kaasbroodjes" (melted cheese covered with puffy pastry dough) and "gevulde koeken" (almond pastries).

This cheezy cheese store offers the most yummie cheeses in town. Walk in, taste and buy your edible souvenir. They seal your cheese upon request (free of charge), so your suitcase doesn't get oily when traveling. They made a Groningen version of the Buffalo Mozarella and also Ricotta. Worth to try!

Ria and Annely love eating pizza at this place. It is hard to find as the place is in a little side street. Follow the directions of the Hema store, it is at the opposite side of the street. Their homemade limoncello is perfect - sweet, sour and icecold!

Ria's favourite restaurant in Groningen. This sushi place offers you plenty of small asian dishes. Don't worry in case your chopstick-skills aren't developed, they have forks and knives too. We highly recommend you to make a reservation through the website; http://www.imono.nl/

The Martinitoren (Martini Tower) is the highest church steeple in the city of Groningen. It is 97meters high and was completed in 1482. You can climb to the top (no elevators) and it gives you an amazing view of the city. Try to find your temporary home - as you can see it from there :-)

The Groningen railway station is the prettiest station of the Netherlands (according to Dutch public transport travellers). The station building was designed by Izaak Gosschalk and combines Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance elements. Under the station you will find the biggest free bike parking of Groningen, it has room for 5000 bikes. It is full of bikes and has bike elevators too, to optimize the space. Park your bike in the racks, otherwise it will get removed and sold by the municipality. Don’t forget your rusty one, because you can only park for a maximum of 10 days. Afterwards it will be removed and sold.

A small "hofje" (courtyard) in the side street of the Peperstraat. It's a small garden in the city center of Groningen. You can hardly believe such an quiet area exists in the city. Groningen has multiple hidden “hofjes”. Most of the citizens living in these "hofjes" are elderly people. Annely her grandparents (Ria's parents) were married in the little church in 1957. Another pretty "hofje" is the Pelstergasthuis, which is near the favourite pizzeria of Ria and Annely. Walk in for free but please be quiet.
