Birthplace of the CD: A Self-Guided Eindhoven Tour
Birthplace of the CD: A Self-Guided Eindhoven Tour
The Experience
Eindhoven's story is one of constant reinvention. On this walking tour, you'll discover how a small medieval settlement transformed into a technological powerhouse where Philips and the compact disc were born, exploring the city's stunning modern architecture along the way. Starting at Philips Stadium, you'll walk past the iconic Lichttoren — the former Philips lightbulb factory — through 18 Septemberplein, named after the city's wartime liberation, and past De Blob, the futuristic glass and steel structure that exemplifies Eindhoven's bold approach to urban design. Along the way, hear how post-war reconstruction created one of the Netherlands' most forward-thinking cities, and stop at St. Catherine's Church, designed by the architect behind Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. The tour ends at Stratumseind, the Netherlands' longest pub street — a fitting place to reflect on Eindhoven's remarkable journey from industrial powerhouse to design capital.
