Shopping

Groningen has a diversity of small-scale shops, including numerous design shops with the latest trends, fashion, and novel accessories. Walk through streets filled with aromatic spices and design businesses, or original gift shops. The Grote Markt and Vismarkt are located in the city centre and almost every day there is a fresh goods market. Clothes and antiques are also sold.

 

Folkingestraat

Once the cornerstone of Jewish Groningen, the Folkingestraat is now one of the most diverse shopping streets in town. Quaint jewellery shops and galleries interchange with antiques and exotic foodstuffs. Nowadays the Folkingestraat is buzzing with people of every ethnic background.
