Eindhoven stole my heart years ago. There is always something to do, accompanied by fine energy and Brabant conviviality.
Philips' huge impact on Eindhoven can still be seen and felt throughout the city. That history, combined with its modern design and high-tech character, makes Eindhoven the place it is today. It is a modern, hip city with Brabant cosiness and a raw edge. You'll find a nice mix of Philips history and modern buildings alternating in the vibrant neighbourhoods, both in the city centre, the Bergen, and at Strijp-S and -R. There are plenty of (sometimes hidden) gems in the city in terms of food and drink, shopping and fun things to do, often in special, former Philips buildings.
