An off beat choice

My travel picks in Netherland were all over the place. Firstly, because I was very comfortable. Most places in Netherlands, it was easy to get by with English. And secondly I was constantly looking foe off beat spots. If a place had decent transport connections, accomodation options and no harsh reviews, i would give it a try. Also, I had exhausted the usual list of places people go to in Netherlands. Groningen made for an unusual but eventful break. Bicycles were big here as with many other places in Netherlands. And my preferred choice. This being the month of May, the weather was very nice. I picked a hostel outside the city center. I started off with a wonderful boat tour. Great way to absorb the sights and get a hang of the town. Rest of my travels were a combo of on foot and the bicycle. From the Groningen museum, to the fish market, martini tower, to cycling around town and trying a hand at indoor rock climbing. Time passed and Groningen was achieved. #myhiddengems #dutch #cherryblossom2024 #netherland #cycling #canals #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #europe #offbeatdestinations
