What you can expect

In the last 500 years, the Martinitower tower has endured fire and lightning, and has nearly collapsed. Wars have been won and lost on its steps, but the tower has stood firm and, at 97 metres, it is still the highest building in the city. Climb the tower to experience some tangible history and a stunning view.

Over 250 steps

Because there is no lift, climbing the d’Olle Grieze – Old Grey One – involves some unremitting labour. Most visitors take about an hour for their visit. But rest assured that your work-out will be handsomely rewarded. After every so many steps, take in the Martinikerk church vaults, centuries-old ornaments, heavy bells or giant flagpoles. On the first gallery, step outside to walk around the tower at a height of 39 metres. And on this gallery you can also find a small cinema where you can watch a short film about the history of Groningen through the eyes of the tower,

High above the city

A considerable number of steps higher will take you to the bell tower. After the narrow and somewhat damp passages, you may experience a feeling of space. This is where you can hear gulls above and people at the market while you stand between the clock dials. After enjoying the beautiful view of the city and environs the time has come to go back down. Any sore muscles the following day will be well worth the effort.
