Anyone who works hard or studies also needs some relaxation now and again. There are plenty of ways to do that in Eindhoven. Whether you want to go walking or in?line skating, play a round of golf, swim a few lengths or try some ice?skating, Eindhoven has it all.

You'll find some excellent in?line skating routes in the Eindhoven area (see 1.7.3.2: Cycle, walking and in?line skating routes). Next to that, Eindhoven has some great places for skateboarding. Lots of skaters get together on the Stadhuisplein to show what they can do. And on top of that, Eindhoven has what may well be Europe's best indoor skating hall: Area 51.
