What to expect
Discover Groningen's hidden past from the water on a scenic canal cruise that brings the city's rich history to life. Glide past the Martinitoren, the striking architecture of the Groninger Museum, and other iconic towers and canal landmarks, while admiring beautiful bridges, old warehouses, and quieter green stretches that many visitors never see.
Dive deeper into the city's maritime heritage with an optional multilingual audio guide, written by a professional historian. Covering 30+ points of interest around the theme of Groningen as a Sea Harbour — a story of trade, power, and water — the tour lets you uncover centuries of history at your own pace.
Prefer to simply unwind? Sit back with a drink of your choice — soft drinks, beer, or wine — chat, take photos, and let the historic details and modern architecture glide by. It's the perfect way to see the city without rushing.
Finish your cruise back at the starting point with a camera full of photos — and a fresh perspective on Groningen.
