In summer, the picturesque street around Groningen's Martini Kerkhof comes alive, where time seems to slow down and the atmosphere is steeped in historical charm and cosiness. The cobbled path, lined with characteristic old buildings, exudes an atmosphere that is both inviting and timeless.
At the heart of this enchanting little street is the decades-old Café de Kosterij, which acts as a beacon of tradition and hospitality. The façade of the café bears traces of history and character, making it an iconic landmark for locals and visitors alike. During the summer months, the café's terrace extends along the street, allowing guests to enjoy their drinks and snacks in the warm sunshine, surrounded by an idyllic ambience.
