Groningen is the capital city of the province of Groningen in the Netherlands. It is with a population of 185,000 by far the largest city in that area. Groningen notably boasts a large student population (approximately 40,000). Although Groningen has a relatively small population for a city, it does have a role as the main center of this part of the country, concerning music, arts, education, business and cuisine. The earlier mentioned great number of students living in Groningen also attributes to a diverse cultural scene for a city of its size.
Groningen's nightlife is due to its students population and its cultural scene is vibrant and remarkable for its size. In particular the Grote Markt, the Vismarkt, and the Poelestraat and Peperstraat are crowded at night, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when some bars do not close until 7 in the morning. In 2006 Groningen was elected "de beste binnenstad" (the best town center) of the Netherlands.
