Travel Guide to Eindhoven, Netherlands

Sports fans will surely associate Eindhoven with a famous football club PSV. Those, who are interested in the history of technology, will call this town as a hometown of DAF. The industrial prosperity of the town is mostly combined with the development of production cars. The first production hall of van Doorne Brothers Company has been now turned into Museum of DAF.
The town has not yet become the center of international tourism, but those visitors, who have been lucky enough to spend at least few memorable days here, will keep the memory of this amazing corner of Europe in their hearts. 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.
Just like any self-respecting town of Europe, Eindhoven has its own museums. Evoluon Museum (technical achievement) was opened thanks to Philips Concern, which had been founded here. Stedelijk van Abbe Museum Art Museum offers the exhibition, which can make any big city museum seriously envy.
