ACHTERPAND - KNITTING FAIRYTALE LAND
 

We have started a monthly series of interviews with small business owners in Groningen, in which we uncover the backstories of hidden gems and people who make them so special.

Head over to our website to read our interview with Elsa Nijhof, the owner of Achterpand, a charming knitting shop in the Lage der A! It's an unmissable tale full of coincidences, accidental beginnings, and magical details. 

Fiets Friend is back!


Even though it's still pretty rainy and chilly out, our FietsFriend initiative is back to make you a pro cyclist!

FietsFriend is designed to assist those who don't yet know how to cycle, who want to get to grips with the rules of the road, or who are looking to discover a new part of the city.
