About Forum Groningen
The Forum Groningen is a building in the center of the city of Groningen. Because several buildings behind the east wall of the market – including the Naberpassage – were demolished, space was created for a square with terraces, called Nieuwe Markt and the Forum Groningen. The Forum is intended as a general meeting place for residents and visitors of the city of Groningen. Under the Forum is a parking garage with a capacity for 390 cars and 1500 bicycles can be parked in the basement. It is expected to receive 1.6 million visitors per year.
