It feels like time has no power here over the calm lifestyle of the inhabitants of this northern province. Quiet walks through the streets of the town and its beautiful surroundings will not cause much damage to the family budget. Only here you can try truly amazing beer from Eindhoven Monastery. Visitors of Eindhoven will be surely offered to taste beer soup or beer liquor.
