Netherlands' northernmost major city, anchored by the University of Groningen and the youngest median age of any Dutch city (students make up roughly 1 in 4 residents). The Grote Markt and Vismarkt anchor the walkable medieval core; the Korrewegwijk and Helpman are the dense residential pockets. Netherlands has no DNV; highly-skilled-migrant or freelance route applies. Schengen. Roughly 35-40% cheaper than Amsterdam on rent; cycling infrastructure is among the world's densest.
