Why Martinitoren matters
The Martinitoren rises over the centre of Groningen, and on clear days you can see far across the flat northern countryside. Climb it for the panorama, then wander down to the market square and the cobbled streets around it, where student cafes, bookshops and old gabled houses keep the centre lively well into the evening.
