Station Groningen

Station Groningen, the city’s main railway station, is one of the Netherlands’ most striking transport hubs. Opened in 1896, it is known for its richly decorated Neo-Renaissance architecture, painted ceilings, stained glass, and elegant waiting halls. Beyond its practical role as a gateway to northern Netherlands, the station is worth a short visit for its historic interiors and distinctive design. Its central location also makes it a convenient starting point for exploring Groningen’s compact old town, museums, and canals.
