Say you’re from Eindhoven, and people will reply: “DE GEKSTE!” — meaning “the craziest.” Why? You’ll have to visit to find out. But there’s more. Once powered by Philips’ lightbulb factories, hence the nickname City of Light, and now known as Brainport for its tech scene, the city is full of bright ideas. Thanks to the Design Academy and countless creative spaces, it’s also a hotspot for creatives. Add the all-out Carnival each year, and you’ve got more than enough reason to visit, especially with your camera.
