Funnily enough, Groningen is the only city where people don't assume I'm German. I'm from Antwerp, Belgium. And I absolutely love the vibe in Groningen. People are extremely nice up there and it's not too hard to get outside of the city and find some lush countryside views. Perfect balance if you ask me.
Amsterdam is the second worse after Rotterdam. Rotterdam is just way too windy, lots of junkies, Amsterdam is full of wannabe's and annoying British tourists.
@@fntatn It really depends on the city and the tourists, I find. If they're visually present, like druggies in Amsterdam or couples in shorts with cameras strapped around their neck in Greece, it will take away some of your authentic experience of the place because they keep distracting you from what the location provides. A place like Berlin, or New York, where people often just roam around and aren't visibly tourist-y, I'd say it can definitely add to the atmosphere and the pleasure of meeting fellow natives in such a faraway location suddenly becomes surprising instead distracting :)
I've been enjoying watching this. We film 4k walks in cities too (and have just filmed a new one in Groningen) one of our favourite cities. It's lovely to discover how we can share and learn so much from each other through channels such as this, thank you for taking the time to add it.
Awesome! This snack in Brasil is called Bolovo, it all started with a truck accident on the road. One was carrying eggs and the other one flour and milk. The mixed up over the hot pavement when the trucks have crashed.
Great video (ongeloofelijk !), happy to see something different than Amsterdam, which is by the way also very beautiful with very nice people. Your video production is amazing, good job !
Woehoe eindelijk nog een Nederlandse contestant kunnen vinden🙌🏻🙌🏻 well done Ellen! Mooie video en leuke edit, je hebt er een like en een subscriber bij☺️
Hi! Me and my friends are visiting Groningen / the Netherlands this weekend! So excited. We are 6 persons, 21-24 years old. What should we do? 🕺🏼 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕪ℂ𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕝 💎
We're going to the Netherlands in July. We hadn't even considered this city. Thanks for making our trip decisions even harder! lol. Nice job. We are new subscribers!
Do visit and take Ellen up on her offer @Adventure Everywhere! I love my hometown but visitors love it here too: less crowded and a better vibe than Amsterdam and almost everything in walking distance in a carfree zone. Have fun!
So what is happening in that beautiful square in front of Grote Markt? I have always enjoyed watching it on RUclips but for some time now it has looked like a building site, an eyesore with apparently no one actually doing any work. Such a shame!
I met a Dutch au pair here in America and she was driving a car with a bumper sticker in the dialect of Groningen. I didn't know the dialect, but I recognized it as possibly a Dutch dialect, so I asked her.
you speak very well English .but the video was too short. I was born in Groningen. and moved to Canada in 1953. I remember very little about the Netherlands. When is your next video?

I am American and I stayed in Antwerp as a student for one year and in Ghent for three years.
I lived in Groningen more than 15 years ago, and still part my soul is attached to Groningen. I had my best of my life in Groningen.
I love when cars are not allowed in the city center! Would love to visit! Looks like such a charming place :)
It is pretty cool, right? :) Lemme know when you find yourself here and I would love to show you around :)
It is! Born, raised and still living here.
@@ellenprojectsloved your video dear.

Its the best city on this planet
Lived there for over a year, and what an unforgettable year it was, incredible place❤️
Anyone else from Groningen watching this during corona lockdown?
Welke lockdown?

@@PaulaBean Then watch this: ruclips.net/video/yvJWol-8uaQ/видео.html
You'll never see Groningen the same! 🙂🙂
@@forsizzle9019 yes I loved that one
I went to Groningen for an exchange. Absolutely love the city! Your video reminds me a lot about my sweet experience there :(
Jennie glad we could bring back some memories😄
Any recommendation on what to see? I plan on visiting there in 2 weeks!
I love Groningen. I studied there 8 years ago. Thanks Ellen for bringing back my memories (herestraat, fishmarkt)
I totally agree Amsterdam is not the only cool city in the Netherlands!
Amsterdam is the second worse after Rotterdam. Rotterdam is just way too windy, lots of junkies, Amsterdam is full of wannabe's and annoying British tourists.
@@DarkAngelEU I feel like lots of cities would be Godly if annoying tourists stayed home.

I would not agree with the safety of pedestrians. Cyclists in the center run sooooo quickly and sometimes ruthlessly... 🤷♂
