This is a fantastic opportunity to meet your fellow honours students and build lifelong friendships.

Trip Details:

We’ll leave Groningen on December 7th, leaving by train around 7 a.m. Our accommodation is situated in the centre of Hamburg; We are near by a supermarket, several Christmas markets, and restaurants, all within walking distance, making it easy to get everything you need.
