Groningen Self-Guided Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt Game

About this activity

Groningen becomes an interactive treasure hunt. The liveliest student city in the north is easy to rush through — this walk gives you its hidden courtyards and canals, at your own pace. Follow a route from the Noorderplantsoen park past centuries-old almshouses to the Hoge der A quay, up to the Forum rooftop and the Martini Tower on the Grote Markt, and on to the synagogue and the colourful Groninger Museum, and at every one of the 12 stops answer a quiz question you find in the surroundings — the clue is around you, not on a screen. Sightseeing, a continuous story and a light brain-teaser rolled into one, played at your own pace on your phone: in the browser with no account needed, or in the CityWalkGems app. No live guide: just open the link and start exploring. Perfect before WinterWelVaart or in the hours between two trains.
