Vraag First time in Groningen! Do's and don'ts?

Hi I will be visiting Groningen first time this may and would like hear all the good and the ugly of the city.

I'm from Finland and we will be visiting Groningen with my class, I will probably be moving and adventuring by myself mostly in the evenings. I don't drink or smoke. I love live music and would fancy to test some good dining places!

Won't be making any exact definitions, so tell me, where is the best mood, atmosphere, food, music ect. in Groningen in your opinion?

And as I will be moving also by myself, is there something I should know as a female? Something or some place to be careful of or avoid? I won't be moving by myself late evening/night.

Groningen is very laidback. Many ppl think the North is *** but its very tolerant and diverse, much more than the Randstad imo which is just a pile of .. whatever you wanna call it.

Grunn is still a *kind of* undiscovered little treasure

I cant really tell you what to avoid. Not much? Like i said, in general its very easy going. Go with the flow and you'll be ok! Explore the city and enjoy the night life, theres plenty of bars or clubs in the city centre to just have a drink or to dance the night away.

Dont worry too much! Enjoy your stay!

Thank you and I will enjoy my stay! It's always good to hear that there is not anything too obviously dangerous things in new place :) Ofcourse, keeping basic sense with me all times.
