Eindhoven, the Dutch city of Innovation

The charm and cosiness of Brabant combined with a modern, innovative city: that’s Eindhoven in a nutshell. Smart tech companies like ASML, VDL and Philips have a major influence on the city's style and culture, while a remarkably vibrant craft beer and pub culture provides ample ambiance (and great taste!). Stratumseind is Eindhoven’s well-known pub street with more than 50 catering establishments, ranging from cocktail bars and clubs to cafés and fine dining. It’s officially the longest pub street in the Benelux. But Eindhoven is first and foremost the design capital of the Netherlands. Its biggest event is the annual Dutch Design Week, where hundreds of talented and established designers showcase their latest creations. It features new, futuristic designs that make a valuable contribution to our society, such as the all-solar electric vehicle Lightyear One and the wooden Biobasecamp, a pavilion where construction with wood has been elevated to a sustainable art form. ##urbanexplorer #tripblazers #celebratewithtrip #netherlands
