About Eindhoven
Whether you enjoy museums, nightlife, sports, or recreational activities, Eindhoven is a destination that offers a little of something for everyone. Museums, such as the modern art Van Abbemuseum and Museum Kempenland, the city's cultural history museum, allow visitors the chance to connect with the area in a unique way. Nightlife, shopping and dining are localized in five areas. The Markt, home to the Holland Casino, is the most centrally located. Stationsplein is teeming with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Just off Stationsplein is Dommelstraat, the street with the most pubs in the Netherlands, while the historic De Bergen neighborhood is popular with artists and literary types. Finally, Wilhelminaplein features a number of brown bars and cafes. Other cultural venues include the Stadsschouwburg (Municipal Theater), the avant-garde Theater Het Klein, and the cinema-oriented Plaza Futura. Outdoor and indoor sports are hugely popular in the Netherlands, and nowhere is that more evident than Eindhoven. The Cycling Route Network is a vast trail system much beloved by locals, who bicycle, roller skate, and walk virtually everywhere. Also popular is Genneper Parks, a massive complex of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, stables, pools, covered and outdoor playgrounds, a zoo, and more. You can enjoy seven golf courses and three theme parks in and around the city. If you want to venture from the city, the countryside surrounding Eindhoven is easily accessible, and the village of Nuenen, where Vincent Van Gogh lived and worked for many years, is also nearby.
