Historically the Herestraat has always been the main shopping street, but you should also venture to the Zwanestraat and Waagstraat for its unique fashion boutiques. A more recent shopping area is Westerhaven and for those more unusual purchases try the Folkingestraat or the "Oude Kijk in 't Jastraat". Most shops in the centre are closed on Sunday and Monday morning until midday, except for 9 Sundays in the year. For exact dates, please contact the Groningen Tourist Information Centre.On
