What started as a small village in the early 1900s has grown into one of the largest cities in the Netherlands thanks in large part to the electronics company, Philips. But the city of Eindhoven is much more than an old business hub. Even after the company upped and moved to Amsterdam, Eindhoven had grown into its own, now with a population of over 400,000 and hosting thousands of tourists every year. Visitors enjoy the laid back lifestyle, fascinating museums, interesting monuments and beautiful old churches.
