The City of Lights of the Netherlands is versatile and has a lot to offer. We especially like the industrial side of Eindhoven. Eindhoven has a raw edge and is the creative hotspot of the Netherlands.

So what are you waiting for? Go visit this city in North Brabant! Continue reading about the best things to do in Eindhoven!

Where is Eindhoven?

Before we get started with the top things to do in Eindhoven, we want to tell you a bit more about the city.

Eindhoven is located in the South of the Netherlands, in the province of North Brabant. It’s the fifth-largest city in the country, with a population of just over 235,000 inhabitants.

You can reach the city by plane, car, train, or bus! Eindhoven has the second-biggest airport in the Netherlands. With airlines like Ryanair and Transavia flying to and from Eindhoven airport, it’s a great airport for cheap flights.

Eindhoven is only 1.5 hours away from Amsterdam by car, and an Amsterdam to Eindhoven train takes just 1 hour and 20 minutes!

Therefore, it’s pretty easy to travel to Eindhoven.

What To Do In Eindhoven

What’s the best way to get around the city and enjoy all Eindhoven activities? Eindhoven is not a very big city, so you can see a lot on foot. The old center, in particular, is perfect to discover on foot.

But we also recommend renting a bike to discover the city by bike! Because there is also a lot to do outside the center. Strijp-S for example, or the Berenkuil, where you can find a lot of street art.

Bike from place to place and go Eindhoven sightseeing. If you don’t want to walk or bike, you can also use Eindhoven’s public bus system.

Enjoy all these Eindhoven activities!

  1. Visit The Philips Museum

Philips Museum what to do Eindhoven

A list of things to do in Eindhoven isn’t complete without the Philips Museum! Visit the Philips Museum and learn about the history of Philips, also from former employees!

In 1891, Gerard Philips made the first Philips light bulb, in the center of Eindhoven. And here you will now find the Philips Museum. Which is definitely worth a visit!

Philips was (and still is) important to Eindhoven because without Philips Eindhoven would not have become what the city is today. At the beginning of the 20th century, the growth of Philips completely changed the city.

From a collection of small villages, it became a prosperous industrial city. We really like the industrial side of the city, but you can read more about that in the next paragraph.

  1. Discover Strijp S

Hands street art Strijp S Eindhoven

Strijp-S was once called the forbidden city of Eindhoven, since the former Philips site was not freely accessible to everyone.

Fortunately, this neighborhood is now accessible to everyone because this is a great place to discover! With all the industrial vibes, it feels a bit like you are walking in Berlin.

It is the creative and hip heart of Eindhoven, and here you will find many great shops, galleries, restaurants, boutiques, coffee spots, and street art.

The name Strijp-S originates from Philips. Philips named its industrial parks Strijp. Strijp-S was the first park, and other surrounding industrial parks are called Strijp-T and Strijp-R.

We recommend discovering Strijp-S yourself. Or go on a Strijp-S guided walking tour.

Walk or cycle around and discover. Places and Eindhoven attractions that you should definitely not miss here are:

Mall Urban Shopper

  1. Experience Virtual Reality At Enversed

Experience virtual reality at Enversed, Europe’s largest virtual reality center. If you do not know what virtual reality is, we will briefly explain it first. It is a computer technique in which it seems and feels as if you are in another reality.

By putting on special glasses, you shut yourself off from the outside world. Your visible reality is replaced by a computer-generated image through the glasses. Your environment is transformed into a completely different world as soon as you put on the VR glasses.

Enversed Strijp S Eindhoven VR experience

And this is super fun, for young and old. Because virtual reality allows you to play games with and against each other in a unique way. Shoot bows and arrows with your controllers, be in a kitchen and make burgers together, start a snowball fight or go paragliding and fly over the sea and rocks.

And that’s not for you, there are also VR escape rooms!

You can find Enversed on the 7th floor in the Vreemgebouw in the Strijp-S district.

  1. Discover Strijp R

After Strijp-S, a visit to Strijp-R cannot be missed. Visiting both are top things to do in Eindhoven! Cycle or walk from Strijp-S to Strijp-R! At Strijp-R, you will find two industrial buildings in which you can visit the Piet Hein Eek Imperium.

Piet Hein Eek is one of the most famous Dutch designers. Since 2010, Strijp-R and an old Philips factory have become his empire. Visit the design shop and gallery, browse the furniture workshop, and eat something at the restaurant.

And since 2021, there is also a hotel where we had a wonderful night’s sleep, which we definitely recommend. Of course, you will find Piet Hein Eek’s designs everywhere in the hotel and in the restaurant.

If you visit the Piet Hein Eek Imperium during the week, you can see through the windows how furniture makers are working on unique Piet Hein Eek designs.

  1. Eat At The Down Town Gourmet Market

The Down Town Gourmet Market is one of the best places to eat something in Eindhoven. The indoor food hall can’t be missed on this list of things to do in Eindhoven!

Besides the fact that the food here is very tasty, it is also a super cozy place. And it’s always busy, even when it just opens!

  1. Go To The Van Abbemuseum

Besides the Philips Museum, the Van Abbemuseum is also worth a visit in Eindhoven! The Van Abbemuseum is a museum where you can find modern and contemporary art. It opened in 1936, and it is one of Europe’s leading contemporary art museums.

With different layers, large spaces, and impressive exhibitions, the Van Abbemuseum always manages to surprise us.

The accessibility of the museum is also impressive. We had never seen a museum that makes art available to blind and people with low vision, using Braille and touchable imitation artworks.

The elevator is also quite a (hearing) experience! So be sure to take the elevator up or down.

  1. Spot Eindhoven’s Street Art

More fun (free) things to do in Eindhoven! In Eindhoven, you can spot cool street art in various places throughout the city. As we said before, you can find plenty of street art in Strijp S. But also in many other places.

Street art PSV Eindhoven

Along the road opposite the Philips Stadium (where PSV plays), for example, is a wall full of street art, including a portrait of the famous Dutch singer Guus Meeuwis. If you cycle from the station to Strijp-S, you will pass it.

Silly Walks tunnel Eindhoven street art

Also fun to visit is the Silly Walks tunnel, the Flying Pins, the Woensel West district, and the Berenkuil. And on the 18 Septemberplein you can also find street art walls near the escalators!

  1. Taste ‘Worstenbroodjes’ At Houben

Worstenbroodjes, aka Dutch sausage rolls, cannot be missed during an Eindhoven trip! The sandwiches are a tradition in Brabant and an intangible heritage since 2016. So be sure to eat a sausage roll for a snack when in Eindhoven.

Houben worstenbroodje sausage roll Eindhoven

And the best place to do this is at Houben on the Willemstraat. Houben’s sausage rolls are a household name in Eindhoven and the surrounding area.

The Houben family has been making delicious sausage rolls since 1935. And nowadays in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. There are also vegetarian sausage rolls and other special specialties available.

  1. Visit Eindhoven During The Dutch Design Week

The Dutch Design Week (DDW) is Northern Europe’s largest design event. Every year, the design event is held in October and lasts for 9 days. People from all over the Netherlands and beyond come to Eindhoven to see the work of hundreds of designers.

You will find expositions, lectures, debates, exhibitions, network meetings, and other festivities at various locations throughout Eindhoven. An element that returns every year is the graduation show with graduation works by students of the Design Academy Eindhoven.

In 2021, we went to the Dutch Design Week for the first time, and we were very impressed by what we saw! In short, go to Eindhoven in October and visit the Dutch Design Week!

It’s one of the best Eindhoven things to do!

  1. Cycle Through The Roosengaarde Van Gogh Path

Rent a bicycle in Eindhoven and cycle in the evening, when it’s dark, through the Roosengaarde Van Gogh cycle path! This is not just any bicycle path, it is a unique bicycle path that gives light thanks to all the luminous stones. But you can only see this when it’s dark! The darker, the better.

Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle road Eindhoven Nuenen

Why do the stones sparkle at night when it is dark? Because of the sunlight which they get during the day, they can sparkle in the evening. So magical!

The cycle path was devised by the artist Daan Roosegaarde and is inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s famous work The Starry Night.

Van Gogh is from the province of Brabant and painted De Aardappeleters in Nuenen, the village next to Eindhoven. The Roosengaarde Van Gogh cycle path is part of the Van Gogh cycle routes that connect the painter’s heritage sites.

  1. Enjoy dinner at Radio Royal

Radio Royaal is a special restaurant in the Strijp-S district. Yes, we have already mentioned Radio Royaal shortly before, but we need to tell you a little more about Radio Royaal. It’s a fantastic place!

Radio Royaal Strijp S Eindhoven

When you enter the restaurant, you will be amazed! Radio Royaal is located in the engine room of a former Philips energy house. And inside you can still see many factory elements, for example, the old machines are still there. There are also cool works of art.

The raw industrial location makes it a cool and unique place to eat! And the French-German food is also very tasty.

In short, the perfect spot for dinner in Eindhoven (they are only open in the evening). Make a reservation in advance, because it is often busy here.

Good to know is that Radio Royaal is closed on Sundays and Mondays and for a 3-course dinner you pay 39 euros.

  1. Step Back in Time in The Pre-Historic Village of Eindhoven

The Pre-Historic Village (Het preHistorisch Dorp in Dutch) of Eindhoven is the perfect place to learn about history because this is where a history lesson really comes to life! 6 different eras are covered in the open-air museum.
