De Korenbeurs, Groningen, Guida per visitatori e cosa fare nei dintorni

De Korenbeurs sits on the Akerkhof in the historic centre of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands. The name means grain exchange, and it is a handy landmark to anchor a walk through the old town, with several of the city's best-known sights within easy reach.

Tips for your visit

• Plan on 15 to 20 minutes to look at the building and its surroundings, and longer if you stop at a café on or near the Akerkhof.
• Check current opening hours and whether any part of the building is open to visitors, as the use of city-centre buildings can change.
• Visit in daylight, ideally in the morning when the centre is calmer, so you can take in the facade and the square properly.
• The Grote Markt is within easy walking distance, so it is simple to combine De Korenbeurs with a wider stroll through the centre.
