Calm sunset in Groningen. I loved every minute in this city.

Take a peek through the gate right of the church and find these great tiny houses. Maybe once for the not so wealthy, now they easily compete with any urban villa. You can take a break on one of the benches, but don't park your bike here!
Beautiful Groninger Museum, a must see!
Every year in August there is a great culture festival called Noorderzon.
