Eindhoven, Netherlands

3 Days at Eindhoven, Netherlands

Eindhoven is 5th biggest city in the Netherlands with population of 0.2 Million. The city has its own airport, well connected railway system and good public transport system. the city is within 100mies from Roterdam, Amsterdam and Cologne( Germany).


Airport
Eindhoven airport is just 5 Km in the north west of the city and connected with the city with bus 401 and 400 the timing and other information can be found here on this website. http://www.oveindhoven.nl/Airport_Eindhoven_Bus_English.htm
The buses are very frequent and no need to check the schedule. After arrival at airport then exit from the right door and the bus stop is just in the front. If you are thinking to rent a car then do it at the airport as the city center offices are always without cars or with expensive options. The car renting offices  are also next to the bus stop.
The bus ticket can be bought from the driver in cash for 3.75 Euro for one way or a 24 hour ticket fro 6 Euro. The bus takes 25 minutes to reach to the main railway station.

Hotel
The Hotels in Eindhoven are extremely expensive so I recommend either do a very early booking or find pension or houses with rented rooms. The breakfast in the hotel usually cost around 9 Euro so it better to eat outside  form some food market or Mcdonalds. The hotels near to Railway station are best option as its possible to walk around all part of the city. The city is safe and  people are usually very cooperative. ( average hotel room cost 30 Euro per night)
This house  has 7 renting room and near to railway station, name: SYCAMORE
Things to see
The town is small and can be seen easily in 2 days. The places of attraction are
1- House of Philips
2- Philips Museum
3- St. Catherine's Church
4- streets near Town center, the architecture is amazing
5- Shopping ( Primark)

The Philips House is one of the most famous place in Eindhoven and people believe that the city is known to the world because of the Philips and hos inventions . the House is located on the street PARLAAN 87.

Philips museum is located near the center and if you have young people accompanying you then can be a worth visit place. the ticket cost 9Eur per person.

For Eating I recommend to go to the North of the station by walking there are alot of international restaurants. the place is next to the University and due to students offera wide variety of foods with relativelt cheaper rates. The street name is Kruisstraat
