Groningen
Buzzing with the exuberance of youth, this ancient Dutch city in the north of the Netherlands caters for its vast student population with a dazzling nightlife. This is the place for serious shoppers, too with its wide pedestrianised central mall, and plenty of places to take a break at the pavement cafes. If art ismore your bag, a holiday in Groningen will knock your socks off, with its splendid museum of 17th century works.
