The new Grote Markt was almost completely redesigned in a short construction period with trees, quiet areas and water features. In my opinion, the renovation was a success.

Grote Markt in Groningen, a very large square with lots of restaurants, the new Forum is very close by. New and old architecture make up the cityscape.

The Grote Markt, called the Breede Merckt until the beginning of the 19th century, is the most important square and the centre of the Dutch city of Groningen.

The square is dominated by the Martini Tower and the City Hall. Another prominent building is the Goudkantoor. On the east side, the Groninger Forum rises behind the buildings. The market is also known for its concentration of catering establishments, including the catering company Drie Gezusters ("the three" in common parlance), with a capacity of 3700 people, according to its own statement the largest pub in Europe[1], of which Hotel De Doelen is also part, also the oldest catering establishment in Groningen that is still in operation. The Grote Markt also functions as a market place to this day. Throughout the centuries, the Grote Markt has been the scene of all festive and solemn events in Groningen, including the celebration of the 28th of August in commemoration of the Relief of Groningen.
