The lively university town of Groningen is located near the coast in the extreme northern corner of the Netherlands. If you love history, art, and culture you will enjoy spending a few days exploring some of Groningen's unique museums, which include all things arty at the Groningen Museum, the unique Netherlands' Strip Museum (chronicling the history of the comic strip), the Graphic Museum, the Nautical Museum, and the Tea Museum. You can also visit some of Groningen's eighty surviving mills (flour mills, water mills, saw mills, etc), explore a few of the city's ancient churches and climb to the viewing gallery of the 500-year-old Martini Tower.
