Travelling to and in Groningen

You can take a train directly from Schiphol Airport to Groningen. The train station is directly connected to the airport and can be found after exiting "arrivals" and following the signs to the underground train platforms. Trains to Groningen generally go every 30 mins. Tickets can be purchased via a ticket machine (found in the airport and on the station) or online via the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) website.

From the train station you are within a 15 minute walking distance to the city center; the Forum Groningen is a 20 minute walk away from the station.

It is possible to take a taxi to your hotel, though it is a pricy option. When exiting the train station, the taxi station is in the left corner.
Taking a bus is another possibility, although the city centre has mainly been closed off for cars and buses, so destinations in the centre are not always convenient to reach. To find the optimal bus routes, use the app ‘9292’ or website, or check google maps. You can use use your credit card to check in (tap it on the reader next to the driver or on the poles onboard), but remember to check off when getting off the bus. Otherwise your card will remain charged with the maximum amount (10€).
