Eindhoven may be best known as a technology hub and the birthplace of Philips, but it’s also one of the Netherlands’ most vibrant cities for street art, innovation, and modern culture. On this private tour, you’ll explore the city’s dynamic transformation from industrial town to creative hotspot — all through the lens of an expert local guide.
Your tour begins in the Strijp-S district — a former Philips industrial complex turned urban playground. Your guide will introduce you to towering murals, graffiti walls, and multimedia installations that speak to the city’s spirit of reinvention. You’ll also learn how the city’s industrial past influenced its artistic identity.
Walking (or optionally biking) through the city, you’ll discover both historical landmarks and cutting-edge art spaces, such as the Van Abbemuseum, one of Europe’s leading contemporary art museums. Your guide will explain Eindhoven’s role in design and innovation, particularly during Dutch Design Week.
But this tour isn’t just about art — it’s also deeply connected to the city’s history. From WWII bombings to post-war rebuilding and urban gentrification, Eindhoven’s evolution is written on its walls, streets, and architecture.
Your guide can tailor the route to your interests — whether you’re into graffiti, interactive installations, or tech-art fusion. You’ll also get insider tips on local studios, pop-up exhibits, and trendy spots for food and drinks.
Perfect for creatives, photographers, or the culturally curious, this tour will leave you inspired by how a city can continuously reinvent itself through creativity and resilience.
