A southern Dutch city reborn through design and tech, its old Philips plant a creative hub, Europe's innovation capital.

📍 Destination Overview

Eindhoven, the largest city of North Brabant, grew up around Philips before becoming a leading European design and tech centre. Its 'Brainport' region is among Europe's most innovative high-tech areas. The old Philips grounds became the creative quarter Strijp-S, venue of the annual Dutch Design Week. Design on every street gives the city a 'design-is-life' energy.

📷 Top Attractions

No.1 Eindhoven
Philips Museum
The Philips Museum tells the story of Philips' remarkable history in Eindhoven. Housed in the company's original light-bulb factory (built in 1891), it uses rich interactive displays to trace innovation from light bulbs to medical technology, and how Philips grew from a small light-bulb workshop into a global technology giant, a museum that combines technology and history. Philips was founded in Eindhoven by Gerard Philips in 1891, initially making carbon-filament light bulbs. The museum shows its innovation from bulbs to radios, televisions, CDs and medical devices. Interactive displays make it family-friendly, and it sits in central Eindhoven.
