A vibrant city known for its university, Eindhoven offers an array of museums, parks, open-air galleries, theaters, and great nightlife.

As university city, Eindhoven has a large student population, giving Eindhoven a young population, whose recreational needs are catered to by several different festivals and clubs. Eindhoven was also the main location of The Philips Company, who undertook a lot of effort in the "cultural formation" of its workforce and gave the city both cultural institutions and sporting institutions. Eindhoven is also known as the City of Light, due to the Company Philips originating there because of the several projects involving lighting up buildings of the city. During Carnival, Eindhoven is rechristened Lampegat (Hamlet of Lamps); referring to the important role of Philips in the Eindhoven community.

The planning process was easy and there was constant access to support via the website. The itinerary was ideal and worked really well for us. The hotels were both very good - and slightly quirky - which was great. The price was very reasonable and the trip was very good value. We were very pleased with the trip. We will definitely be using the site again.

Your site is easy to navigate and being able to request breakfast and parking was fantastic. Mapping out a route based on where we wanted to visit was easy and we could tweak it so we didn’t have huge distances between locations . Your team is very efficient and they sorted a new hotel that met our requirements when one was unavailable. The hotels were excellent, clean to a high standard, and, staff were friendly.
