  • A Glimpse into the Extraordinary 

Picture this: The sun-kissed 18 septemberplein sets the stage, beckoning you to join our merry band of explorers. But this isn't just a tour—it's an invitation to embrace the city's beating heart, to connect with its past and its future.

Our journey doesn't stop at mere landmarks; it delves into the soul of Eindhoven. We'll stand in awe before the grandeur of the PSV Stadium, a temple where passions unite. The captivating tales of innovation and ingenuity come to life within the walls of the Philips Museum, Van Abbe Museum, and the DAF Museum. Hold your breath as we step into NAT Lab, where creativity knows no bounds, and Eindhoven Central Station stands as a testimony to the city's bustling heartbeat.

  • Where Dreams Shape Reality

But oh, the wonders keep unfolding! Imagine standing before the realm of ASML, where science fiction becomes science fact. And though the Evoluon stands a bit further, its enigmatic presence lingers in the air, waiting for those with an adventurous spirit to answer its call. The St. Catherine Church whispers secrets from times gone by, while Markt square's statue of Gerard Philips pays homage to the visionary who ignited Eindhoven's spark.

  • Bowling Alleys in the Sky 

As the sun dips below the horizon, the atmosphere transforms. Neon lights illuminate our path, guiding us to the whimsical spectacle of the Flying Pins. We venture into the artistic haven of Strijp-S, where creativity dances on every wall. The intoxicating aroma of flavors melds with the air at the Downtown Gourmet Market, and the 100 Watts Brewery invites you to savor Eindhoven one sip at a time. The Design Academy's spirit infuses the streets, and the promise of the Glow Festival glimmers like a well-kept secret.

  • An Ending, Yet a New Beginning

As our footsteps slow and the city's pulse becomes our own, we reach the end of this marvelous odyssey. But remember, the tale doesn't truly end here—it continues in your hearts, a story you'll carry and share. Eindhoven, a city of dreams and aspirations, will forever be etched in your memories.

Giordano was very friendly and pinpointed the main places to see in Eindhoven, even suggested other places for us to visit, and also gave a history background on every landmark. Weather did not help, perhaps we could walk around further if it weren't for the rain and cold. Group of 5 was awesome, we loved meeting the other participants!

El guía podría hablar mucho más alto, con más entusiasmo y dar más información preparada. Entendemos que la ciudad no da para más pero es cuestión de actitud.
