Mindful meoweler tips

Ride a bike like a pro

Groningen is known for being one of the most bike-friendly cities. Rent a bike and explore the city like a local! Just be sure to watch for other cats on the bike paths.

Discover hidden courtyards

Groningen is full of secret courtyards and gardens that are hidden behind doors and narrow alleys. These quiet oases offer a perfect escape from the busy city. Meowvel through the courtyards and find your own peaceful spot!

Visit the Martini Tower

The Martinitoren is a 97-meter-high tower that dominates Groningen's skyline. Climb the tower's 311 steps to enjoy a spectacular view over the city. But be careful not to fall off - cats may have nine lives but you only have one!
