A boat trip through Groningen city’s canals was also new to me, and something I can highly recommend to do in a private sloop with captain Jeroen of DiepSloep.

Seeing Groningen from the water provides a unique perspective and is very relaxing and safe, as you can book this luxurious 8 person boat privately. Jeroen is a true local and will tell you everything about the city’s history, its canals, the many unique buildings, and art under the bridges, which really adds to the experience.

In 1 hour you can see much of the city already, but in a 3 hour boat tour you can experience even more of the surroundings as well, and will be spoiled with drinks and snacks. You can also book it with lunch or dinner on the boat.
