Did you know Eindhoven is a '15-minute city'? This means (almost) everything you could possibly desire is within 15 minutes walking or biking, which are the best ways to get around town. Prefer public transport? The city has two train stations, dozens of bus connections, and plenty of cabs to take you from A to B.
Want to be well-prepared for your journey? Then, of course, you can buy a ticket online. This is especially useful if you're traveling to Eindhoven from abroad. If you're staying within Eindhoven for a few days, you'll get quite far with your bank card; you can use it to check in and out. If you're staying for a longer period, an OV-chipkaart (public transport card) will come in handy. You can link various subscriptions to it, which is convenient if you travel the same route frequently.
Eindhoven has two stations, Eindhoven Central Station and Station Strijp-S. Intercity trains and sprinters stop at both stations. You can check your journey using the Journey Planner on ns.nl or Google Maps. Try NS International or Rome2Rio for booking international train travel.
All roads lead to... Eindhoven. From Amsterdam/Utrecht via the A2, from Rotterdam/Tilburg via the A58, from Antwerp via the A67, and from Arnhem/Nijmegen via the A50. Here you'll find all parking facilities in the city.
Cheap and eco-friendly with Flixbus. You can book a bus ride to Eindhoven from just about any European city, and vice versa. Note: the boarding point is just outside the Central Station, at John F. Kennedylaan 2.
Eindhoven Airport is about 15 minutes away (by bus) from Central Station. A bus to and from the airport departs every 10 to 15 minutes to the city center, except after 9:00 pm. Important bus lines are 400 and 401.
