Groningen Province is one of the provinces of the Netherlands. Located on the north eastern part of the country, Groningen covers 2,329 square kilometers of land and 576 square kilometers of sea. It has a population approaching 600,000 people. The capital is also called Groningen.
Groningen is bordered by the German state of Lower Saxony to the east, Drenthe to the south, Friesland to the west and the Wadden Sea to the north.
The people of Groningen speak Gronings, a Low Saxon dialect. However the dialect is becoming endangered, as many inhabitants no longer speak it, especially in the city of Groningen, where there are a lot of people who moved there from other places.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
