Eindhoven is a modern city, often referred to as the "City of Light." Contrary to what many people might think, Eindhoven did not acquire this nickname due to the presence of the Philips corporation. Instead, the name "City of Light" originates from the match factories that established themselves in Eindhoven from 1970 onwards. Don't expect to find many historical buildings in Eindhoven, as a significant portion was flattened during World War II. What you can see, however, are contemporary and fresh-looking structures, along with a lot of design elements. Eindhoven is also a true shopping city. And remember: it is you who determines the pace of this tour.
