North Netherlands in/near Groningen - parking a car

Post by LucyEliz »

A friend and I are wondering about doing a short tour with Groningen and/or Leeuwarden as bases, but for various reasons we are considering driving there. Does anybody have tips for places (e.g. B&Bs with plenty of outdoor space) that wouldn't mind us leaving a car parked with them for several days while we cycled? Am interested in any tips for in or around Groningen, Leeuwarden, surrounding areas.

I am a member of Vrienden op de Fiets and will make enquiries with hosts there, but it's not really kosher to rock up in a car to Vrienden hosts, so am trying to investigate other options as well.

In the Netherland I have used the park and ride outside town without problem - I have also used larger shopping centers and that has been fine too.

this website gives a number if you want to check

Thank you. Good to know it’s fine to do this at park and ride places.

If you want something that might offer a little more security, you could consider the long term car park at Groningen airport.
