5. Veenkoloniaal Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 95 reviews
Veenkoloniaal Museum Veendam ( Amsterdam Peat Museum) is one of the most surprising museums in the province of Groningen. In the 17th century investors from Amsterdam invested their money in the enormous Bourtanger Moor. Peat (turf/veen) was brought by small vessels to city's like Amsterdam and Gouda.The museum not only tells about peatdigging, but also about the Golden Age of this region, the 19th century! The age when 60% of the Dutch fleet was located in little towns like Veendam, Wildervank and Pekela. They traded f.e.with the town of Riga. It also the century of Anthony Winkler Prins who wrote his encyclopaedia in Veendam and century of William Albert Scholten, the first multinational in the Netherlands. Succesfull in trading in potato starch, straw- and cardboard. Besides the (permanent) story of the region, the museum organizes interesting art and historical exhibitions.

Another eye-catching building is added to the skyline of Groningen's historic city centre. Forum Groningen, open since november 2019, was designed by Amsterdam-based NL Architects for the City of Groningen. It covers a surface area of 17,000 m2 on ten floors, is open seven days a week and hosts a diverse array of activities around one coherent ambition: explore the world, discover the future. Forum Groningen's ambition is to let today's world and tomorrow's opportunities inspire the residents and visitors of Groningen. It hopes to achieve this with international exhibitions, film and literature festivals, as well as courses, workshops and talks. Forum Groningen challenges the public to keep an open mind while exposing them to the latest social and technological developments. To this end, the Forum hosts exhibitions and has the interactive Storyworld museum, five cinemas, a multi-purpose events venue, the city library, study and work places, a Medialab and a Smartlab.

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 .

We were staying in the area and as beer is a passion of mine we found the Martinus Brewery on the net and hey presto they do tours. We booked ourselves in for the English tour which started at 3:30pm, the owners son took us around the brewery, he was very witty, passionate and knowledgable at the same time and kept things moving along nicely whilst answering any questions that were fired at him. Drinks (samples) kept appearing from the bar upstairs which was a nice touch and I enjoyed each one as we were shown around. We bought some bottles at the end of the tour but you can enjoy a few beers at the bar. The staff were all helpful and attentive and I would recommend a visit if in the area. There's a multi story car park close by if you're unfortunate enough to be driving!

They’ve renewed the place since 2018, 3 new saunas! Thermal bath was great as always!! For a Finnish person like me was bit funny to go to saunas and not be able to throw water on stove. Made me laugh when staff lady asked us to leave herbal sauna (while she was getting ready for ritual) because it’s not healthy to stay in +35 Celsius for more than 15 min!! Overall great experience once again, feeling really relaxed!
9. Nationaal Park Lauwersmeer

Reviewed By boukeceelen - Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Been coming here for a few years now. And love it at any time of the year. Summer months are best though. For rest and non, or few tourists, the other months are best. Many nature walks available, good for cycling,sailing, heading over to the island of Schiermonnikoog, birdwatching. So much to do. Also the area is one of 2 dark sky parks in the Netherlands, so good for some stargazing or astrophotography (with unobscured views) in otherwise very lightpolluted Netherlands.
