Strijp-S

Here's a prime example of repurposing: the former 'forbidden city' is trendier and more accessible than ever. Previously, only Philips employees had access to Strijp-S, but nowadays everyone can enjoy this piece of industrial heritage. Almost all the old factory buildings have been transformed into trendy stores, innovative restaurants, and creative workplaces. With annual events like Dutch Design Week (DDW) and STRP Festival you experience the district in optima forma.

Must-visit: Piet Hein Eek

Just a stone's throw from Strijp-S, you'll find one of the most famous Dutch designers: Piet Hein Eek. He transformed a former ceramic workshop into a design hotspot with a studio, a workshop, two restaurants, an exposition room, a showroom, a shop and the brand new Piet Hein Eek Hotel with a rooftop bar. You don't want to miss this!
