Travel tips
Safety First!
In general, Eindhoven is a calm and safe city, and tourists should feel at ease.
However, that's not to say that crime never happens, so be sure to always be
mindful of your belongings in public areas. If you come by bike, make sure you
have a lock, and leave it in a well-lit, populated area.
Hitting the Shops
Visitors coming from larger cities may be surprised to see closed shops during the
evening, but Eindhoven shopkeepers seem to enjoy their leisure time. During the
week, most shops in the centre close at around 6 pm, with the exception of
Fridays, when they're open until 9 pm. On Saturdays, shops close even earlier,
usually in the late afternoon, while on Sundays most of the city is shut down
completely. Also, keep in mind that most museums in the city are closed on
Mondays.
Keep it Clean
One thing any visitor will notice is that Eindhoven is a very clean, organised city.
The locals take pride in their attention to aesthetics, so it's good to respect that
pride and the local regulations by not littering or otherwise vandalising your
surroundings. Also, smoking is outlawed indoors, so if you're smoking outside,
make sure to leave your butts in an authorised container and not on the street.
Consulting the Experts

information and recommendations to read on the plane over - ready for when you
touch down.

Getting around
By Public Transport
Since Eindhoven has no trams or an underground, buses are the way to go as far
as public transportation within the city is concerned. However, the bus network is
very comprehensive, with most places outside of the city centre being accessible
by bus. In addition, a bus runs directly from the centre to the Eindhoven Airport. If
you want to plan your route (door-to-door!) automatically you can use 9292.
Extensive information about public transport in Eindhoven, put together by a local
(Dutch only), can be found at OV Eindhoven.

By Taxi
The Dutch taxi market is liberalised, meaning drivers can set their own prices and
you're never obliged to take the first taxi on a taxi stand, but (in theory) you can
negotiate with the taxi drivers to get a good deal or service. Taxi stands are
positioned at the usual places, with the main ones being at the Central Train
Station, the Airport and behind the Stratumseind at the 'Begijnhof'. You can also
call a taxi, but this is more expensive, because you have to pay for the fact that
they have to come especially for you.
By Bike
The best way to travel around Eindhoven is to go Dutch - get a bike! There are
several bike hire shops in the city centre, including one right next to the train
station. As the city centre is compact, you can easily get anywhere you'd like to
go by bike, and the comprehensive network of bike lanes mean you'll never be
dodging traffic - or stuck in it!
By Car
Let's just say, we don't recommend it! However, if you've arrived in the city by car, the best idea is to park it by
your hotel and travel by bike or bus during your stay. Not only will you save petrol, but you'll get the full Dutch
experience!
