If you like both history and the new, enjoy a bite to eat and a drink or want to relax in a park, this is your neighbourhood.
If you are looking for a combination of cosy bargee houses, townhouses, a park to relax in and cool places to eat or drink, this is the neighbourhood for you! The cool Hortus neighbourhood is that green and cosy part on the north side of Groningen city centre. The name of the Hortusbuurt comes from the former Hortus of the university, which used to be located nearby. The hip Noorderplantsoen is also in this neighbourhood: a beautiful park with several drinking and eating establishments nearby as well, such as MAHALO, Bramble, Dokjard and BOEL. The Ebbinge Quarter is a new residential area with striking architecture.
