The city of Delfzijl is a city in the municipality of Eemsdelta in the province of Groningen. Delfzijl is less than 30 minutes from Van der Valk Hotel Groningen-Zuidbroek. Delfzijl also has its own harbor, which has been very important for shipping in the history of the Netherlands (just likeEemshaven 20 kilometers away). So is Delfzijl a nice city? Find out quickly why and read on!

Delfzijl is centrally located

Delfzijl is a port city on the Wadden Sea where you can even see Germany from the dike; it is therefore centrally located and definitely a place to discover. The city (and its port) still has one of Groningen's most important connections to the Wadden Sea. Delfzijl is the main port of the Northern Netherlands and lies on the German river Ems.

Delfzijl is a special port city

The port of Delfzijl is one of the two Groningen seaports that, together with Eemshaven, make up the public body, also called the Delfzijl port authority. Groningen Seaports has been the manager of the two seaports since 1958. Did you know that the Oud-West neighborhood in Delfzijl was built in the style of the Amsterdam School? This is a modern architectural style characterized by expressive forms, as seen in the Oosterkerk in Groningen.

Children's museum in Delfzijl

If you've had enough of the harbour of Delfzijl and are looking for a fun museum to visit with the children, then the Museum aquarium is highly recommended. This natural and cultural-historical museum is known for its aquarium, where fish and other sea animals from the North Sea and the Wadden Sea can be seen. The museum is accessible to both young and old and is open every day of the week from 10:00 to 17:00. Dogs are not allowed because of the live animals in the aquarium.
