About this activity

If you are interested in technologies and futuristic design, then you should not miss visiting Eindhoven!

Unlike many other Dutch cities, there are no crooked medieval streets here or small cozy houses. On the contrary, this city is famous for its incredible inventions that are shaping the future. It is full of surprises, such as a hotel in a former monastery, a hidden river and

urban accommodations for bats or insects, and many others!

We will see a lot of impressive architectural objects, an art district, art galleries, street art, and innovative projects.

Our story will concern the history of such things as, smart or sustainable cities, and wildlife-friendly urban areas. We will find out more about the history of Eindhoven or big events like Eindhoven Design Week.
