Eindhoven Airfares

One of the most famous industries in Eindhoven, which was established in 1891, was a light bulb factory. It sounds unimpressive, but the Philips light bulb factory helped pave the way significantly for Eindhoven, helping the city grow and providing many jobs (and technology is still an important industry today).

The light bulb effect is still celebrated – at the Philips First Incandescent Lamp Factory of 1891 museum, you can take a tour of the factory and see how the light bulbs used to be made. Artificial light is also the theme at an exhibition, housed within the Lamp Factory, which brings together an unusual collection of paintings and sculptures – both are must-sees, especially to get a glimpse into the industrial history of the city.

To explore the city well, make use of the buses - unlimited tickets for bus travel are available in certain provinces – or hire a bicycle.
