hire a canoe and paddle around the centre
About
Like many Dutch cities, Groningen has beautiful canals around the centre. From the 1st of April until the 1st of Oktober it's possible to hire a canoe and paddle around the centre. It's a round trip that gives you a totally different view of Groningen since you are lower than the streets and you can pass very close along the many house boats in the city. Some bridges have a secret 'roof' that can only be seen when you pass under the bridge (or if you're standing at the right side when the bridge opens vertically). A tour around the centre takes about 1 - 2 hours, depending on how fit you are, how many stops you take for photo shootings, and water battles.* 't Peddeltje kanoverhuur, Oosterbrug (coming from the centre it's on the right side of the bridge, walk to the middle of the bridge and then down the stairs), ☎ 050-3130661, [15]. 11:00 - 19:00. € 8 - 20. - GPS: N53° 12' 49.4274" E 6° 34' 25.215"
