The bustling city of Eindhoven in the south of the Netherlands was once just a tiny town, but boomed in the 1900s after Phillips – the electronics company – was founded here. From Eindhoven Airport, drive 15 minutes to reach the city centre, where all the star attractions await.

Perhaps the liveliest city in the south of the Netherlands, Eindhoven is a hub of design, technology and history. Pay a visit to the Van Abbemuseum, which displays contemporary works by big-name artists including Picasso, Chagall and Kandinsky. No visit to the city is complete without a visit to the Philips Factory Museum, which provides a fascinating insight into the original 19th- century electronic processes. Perhaps Eindhoven’s most recognisable feature is the Evoluon – a unique architectural sight built to mark the 75th anniversary of Phillips, planted just west of the city centre.

The highest building in Eindhoven, De Admirant, is a 105 metre tall tower stood directly in the middle of the stylish shopping area known as ‘Around Admirant’. To experience the city’s nightlife, head to Het Stratumseind – the street with the most bars in the Netherlands. With over 40 venues to choose from, you’ll be sure of an entertaining evening.

With an Avis rental, Eindhoven is at your fingertips.

Eindhoven’s central location makes it the perfect base to explore the Netherlands.

Amsterdam

Drive just an hour and 25 minutes north of Eindhoven along the A2 and arrive at one of the most iconic cities in Europe. With its adorable 17th-century buildings, winding canals and quaint cobbled streets, it has a fairy tale feel to it. Yet this is also a very modern and progressive city. The Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank House are the city’s two most popular attractions, but also don’t miss the Begijnhof – a former convent from the 14th century – the Amsterdam Tulip Museum, and Albert Cuypmarkt. A city known for its bobbing houseboats, cosy cafes, an abundance of bicycles and the legacy of Van Gogh, Amsterdam is truly the gem of the Netherlands.

Rotterdam

Boasting a vibrant nightlife, a wealth of exciting museums and a thriving lifestyle, Rotterdam is known as the Netherlands’ second city, sitting just over an hour northeast of Eindhoven along the A58. After being bombed completely during WWII, Rotterdam rebuilt itself into a truly modern city that’s a must-see on any trip to the Netherlands. Be sure to visit Kinderdijk – a great place to see traditional Dutch windmills.

With your Avis hire car, it couldn’t be easier to discover the joys of the Netherlands. Just collect your keys from Eindhoven airport and take to the open road.
