peony park
From the Martini Hotel Groningen you first walk through the Steentilstraat. In this pleasant shopping street you will see a number of seventeenth and eighteenth century buildings. Further on you walk over the Damsterdiep, a filled-in canal. In the Bloemenbuurt you walk through a hidden gem: the Peoenpark. This park was created in the 1950s. Grab a bench here to enjoy the tranquility and special surroundings.
