Cool building that you can enter free of charge. On the ground floor is a shop selling items for tourists. There seem to be activities organised for children and many people using it as a work space. Make sure you go to the roof top terrace for amazing views .

Goldberg Escape

Goldberg Escape is een escape room in een zeecontainer. Na binnenkomst heb je een uur om te ontsnappen. Bijzonder aan deze escape room is met name dat er geen taal aan te pas komt. Door goed na te denken en samen te werken doorgrond je de toestellen in de zeecontainer en kun je ontsnappen!

Catcafe Op z'n Kop

Is there a better way to spend your time than in a cozy coffeehouse in the presence of a big furry feline friend? Definitely not! In our cafe you will find 10 lovely cats, living in the catcafe; a comfy cafe where you can relax and enjoy your coffee or tea with a cat by your side. Also the best place to get some lovely cakes, homemade lemonade, lunch or dinner, at only 1 minute away from the Grote Markt in the city center.

we came across the cat café in Groningen by accident, but we just had to pet those sweet fluffy friends in front of the window! I ordered homemade iced tea and nachos and it was delicious. There’s also a tiny cat merchandise shop in one of the corners which is absolutely adorable, I bought a pencil there! The cats were sweet and the people are kind! 10/10 recommendation
