Sports, culture, leisure

Of course you can't work all the time, and you also need to relax. You're in the right place, because Eindhoven is a fantastic city for going out. Just take the ‘Stratumseind': around forty bars in a space of just 200 meters! As well as that, Eindhoven has lots of cinemas, music venues and theaters. And every season there are plenty of interesting events in the city center. You won't be bored for a moment!

Eindhoven is also a great place for sports, with a wide range of facilities. For example the Sports Center, located on the TU/e campus. There you'll be able to take part in more than forty different sports activities. Find out more at https://venus.tue.nl/sci-cgi/index.opl (in Dutch).
