In 1900 Eindhoven was a mere village, but has grown into a bustling city, which gave birth to the multinational electronics company Philips, earning the city the nickname “City of Lights”.

Electronics aside, the Van Abbemuseum is one on the world’s leading museums for modern and contemporary art, housing the works of Picasso, Kandinsky and Chagall, while the 105-meter tall De Admirant tower is a spectacle to behold. There’s a plethora of activities, from workshops and popular art projects to sports, dancing and concerts.
