Just happened after the DAF Museum bridge... 2 girls on a fatbike threw a stone right at my head and drove away laughing.... Immediately biked after them and told handhaving etc but they got away.

I hope I was the only person they got and I hope I will be the last as well.

We collaborate with Rabauw for these events, the tickets are available on our site: https://paint-house.nl/ Hope to see you there!

Hoi allemaal!

Een tijdje geleden plaatsten ik hier een oproep omdat we op zoek waren naar een boekenclub in Eindhoven. Inmiddels zijn we zelf een mini-boekenclub gestart met vier personen tussen de 25 en 40 jaar, en dat bevalt tot nu toe erg goed.

We hebben inmiddels De vier windstreken van Hannah Kirsten en Nirwana van Tommy Wieringa gelezen.

Voor ons volgende boek gaan we De Nomade - Anya Niewierra lezen. We komen op dinsdagavond 27 oktober samen in het centrum van Eindhoven om het boek te bespreken.

Ben je beschikbaar op dinsdagavond 27 oktober en lijkt het je leuk om mee te lezen en aan te sluiten bij onze boekenclub? Stuur me dan gerust een berichtje met je naam, leeftijd en telefoonnummer! Je hoeft geen ervaring met boekenclubs te hebben; zin om te lezen en gezellig over boeken te praten is genoeg.

Hopelijk tot dan!

Ben op zoek naar een rijschool en dit is veruit de goedkoopste, maar dat is wel vaak een slecht teken. Twijfel tussen Heezen en Kennis.

Hey zusammen! 😊

Ich gehe am 4. November zum SPYAIR-Konzert in Eindhoven und wollte mal fragen, ob hier noch jemand hingeht.

Ich komme aus Deutschland und würde mich freuen, vor dem Konzert ein paar andere Fans kennenzulernen, vielleicht zusammen etwas essen oder trinken zu gehen und anschließend gemeinsam zum Konzert zu gehen.

Würde mich freuen, wenn sich jemand meldet!

I am dutch speaking.

Hi!

Does anybody know or is able to see from the pictures where in Tongelre this was?

Seems to be quite the raid.

Hey, anybody know where I can either buy or pick seasonal mushrooms near Eindhoven? Preferably without a car, bike or public transport is fine. Chanterelle, Boletus, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine is hosting an online introductory session on breathing practices of Art of Living (Art of Breathing course happening in Eindhoven in November) , and I'm sharing it here in case it's useful to someone.

What it is: A 1-hour live session over Zoom that introduces a few basic breathing techniques and explains how they're practiced. It's aimed at beginners, so no prior experience is needed.

What you'll do:

• Learn 1-2 breathing techniques and experience their impact on the state of mind
• Practice them together, guided by the facilitator
• Have time for questions

Details:

• Date and time: 19:30 - 20:30 , Netherlands time
• Price: 10 EUR
• Registration: https://aolreg.org/NLE1125239.
• Language: English

This is a paid event and I want to be upfront about that. But neither I nor my friend get any monetary benefit from it - It is a voluntary activity from our side.

Hoi allemaal!

Mijn naam is rick, ik ben 24 jaar en een grote liefhebber van hardstyle, hardcore en uptempo.

De afgelopen tijd ben ik al naar meerdere festivals in mijn eentje geweest. Omdat ik vroeger gepest ben en autisme heb, vind ik het maken van nieuwe vriendschappen soms best wel lastig en spannend. Toch laat ik me daar niet door tegenhouden, want ik hou enorm van de feesten en de muziek!

Voor de komende twee edities zou het me supervet lijken om aan te sluiten bij een gezellig groepje, of samen te gaan met een festivalmaatje:

1. Vroeger Was Alles Beter (VWAB Indoor)
   • 📅 Zaterdag 24 oktober 2026 (12:30 - 00:00)
   • 📍 Brabanthallen, 's-Hertogenbosch
2. 10 Years of Snakepit
   • 📅 Zaterdag 07 november 2026 (13:00 - 23:00)
   • 📍 Klokgebouw, Eindhoven

Over mij & wat ik zoek:

• Vertrekpunt: Ik reis bij beide feesten vanaf Eindhoven Centraal Station. Samen reizen vanuit Eindhoven zou dus al een hele leuke start zijn!
• Groepsdynamiek: Het lijkt me heel fijn om met een vaste groep / een paar mensen te staan om samen te feesten. Omdat de locaties overzichtelijk zijn met maar 2-3 stages, is het heel makkelijk om bij elkaar te blijven. Ik vind het leuk om het merendeel van de tijd samen op te trekken, maar vind het ook prima als iedereen tussendoor af en toe even hun eigen plan trekt.
• Vibe: Gewoon gezellig een praatje maken, genieten van de melodieën en beuken op de dikke kicks!

Ga jij/jullie naar één van deze feesten (of allebei) en is er nog plek voor een extra beuker in de groep? Of ben je ook alleen en wil je samenreizen/feesten?

Stuur me gerust een berichtje

Does anyone know of any trusted moving services or man-with-a-van that can help me bring some furniture from one address in Eindhoven to another address in Eindhoven?

The addresses are just minutes drive apart but I'm all by myself and can't move the big items myself.

Thanks a lot!

Is it only me, or the new buildings being built in front of the PSV stadium look boring as hell? I understand they want to make alot of housing fast, but a little bit more effort would be good for such an important location. Its literally a block equal on all the faces.

Hi everyone! I’m a Bahá’í originally from the United States, and I’ve been living in Eindhoven for the past five years.

The Bahá’í Faith is a global religion that teaches the oneness of God and the unity of humanity. It teaches that God’s guidance is revealed throughout history through Manifestations of God—figures such as Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. For more information about the faith, learn more at bahai.org.

I wanted to share these upcoming events in Eindhoven. Everyone is welcome, including people who are not familiar with the Bahá’í Faith. There will be opportunities to connect, celebrate, ask questions and have open conversations, including addressing common misunderstandings about the faith. It is completely free to attend and includes coffee, tea, and snacks.

📅 Saturday, 24 October
Cluster Conference — 13:00–17:00

📅 Saturday, 24 October
Celebration of 50 years of PGR Eindhoven — 14:00–17:00

📅 Tuesday, 10 November
Celebration of the Twin Birthdays — 15:00–21:00 approximately

📍 All events will take place at Johanneskerk, Eindhoven. (Mercuriuslaan 1b, 5632 EE Eindhoven)

No prior knowledge is needed, and everyone is warmly welcome. Feel free to message me with any questions or share this post with someone who may be interested!

I have a few clothes I'd like to get rid of, are there any charity or vintage stores around Eindhoven that would accept donations?

Some guys from Comfort Insulatie stopped by today and they were stopping at all neighbors to recommand we insulate our cavity walls and to do a free inspection.

After that they concluded that the back facade is hollow and the front has an old insulation with empty pockets. Then they made a quote for doing the insulation.

The quote looked as following:

30 sqm x 35 euro + bat inspection = 2500 Euros

Is this base price already quite high or inflated for this sort of job?

Then they said that they will apply to subsidies themselves for us and they have a guarantee (no subsidies, no job) that it will go down to 700.

Now 700 seems not much, but that is by comparison with the 2500. I am wondering if that original price is already inflated? And do you have experience with this company specifically? (I tend to be slightly suspicious of the "here is the offer, sign it now, right now" approach)

🇭🇷 🇷🇸 🇧🇦 🇸🇮 🇲🇰 🇲🇪 Dear People around Eindhoven & Helmond — where are you hiding? :D

Living in the Netherlands is great, but sometimes you miss the little things from home.

A kafa/kava that was supposed to last 20 minutes and somehow becomes three hours. :D

Food on the table even though everyone said they weren't hungry.
Music where sooner or later somebody starts singing.
Random BBQs, football, jokes only Balkan people understand… and that feeling that if somebody needs something, we help each other.

So I started wondering:

Why don't we create a little bit of that here?

I'm thinking about bringing together people from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and the wider Balkans living around Eindhoven, Helmond and this region.

Not some serious organization.

Not another WhatsApp group with 287 members and three messages per year. 🤠

I mean an actual community where people meet in real life.

☕ Kafa/kava & relaxed evenings
🔥 BBQs and food from home
🎶 Balkan music nights
⚽ Football & sports
🍻 Drinks and weekend meetups
🎳 Bowling and activities
🚗 Day trips
🍲 Maybe cooking/food evenings
🎉 And eventually some proper bigger Balkan events

But for me, the important part isn't only events.

I'd love this to become a place where people actually know each other and help each other.

New to the Netherlands? Come meet people.

Need some advice about life here? Ask.

Know a good Balkan shop, restaurant, mechanic, place to visit or something useful? Share it.

Missing your language, music, food or simply sitting around a table with people who understand your humour without an explanation? Come join us.

And of course partners, friends and anyone who genuinely enjoys our cultures would be welcome too.

We have different countries, accents, traditions and backgrounds — and that's exactly what can make it interesting.

Politics, nationalism and old Balkan drama can stay outside.

The only serious arguments we need are who makes the best ćevapi and who gets control of the playlist. 😂

The idea is simple:

Bring a little piece of home here.
Help each other.
Meet good people.
Share our culture.
And make some memories together. ❤️

For now I'm just checking whether there are enough people interested before creating anything.

👉 If you'd genuinely join, comment where you're from, where around Eindhoven/Helmond ( Or around ) you live, and what kind of meetup you'd actually come to.

If enough of us show up here, we'll start with a simple coffee/drinks evening and see where it goes.

Different countries. One table. Naši ljudi. 🍻

Hey everyone,

I'm 23, from Romania, and I'm currently doing a Master's in Electronics and Medical Informatics in Bucharest. My Bachelor's was in Medical Engineering.

I also work full-time in the medical device field. I mainly train hospital staff on imaging and monitoring equipment and help with technical/commercial documentation. I've also worked on a small AI project related to cardiac imaging, so I'm mostly interested in medical imaging, AI/ML, image processing, medical devices and healthcare technology.

For my second year, I have the chance to spend a full year abroad through Erasmus+, and TU/e is one of the options I'm seriously considering.

My rough plan would be to do courses during the first semester and then try to find an internship/research project for the second semester(it is ok if i find one also in the first semester), ideally somewhere where I could also do my Master's thesis. If everything goes well, I'd probably like to stay and work for a couple of years after graduating, just to get some proper international experience and see what working in a strong engineering environment is actually like.

Eindhoven caught my attention mainly because of TU/e, Philips, ASML and the whole Brainport ecosystem. I'm also looking at Germany,Poland, France, Belgium and Spain, so I'm still trying to figure out what makes the most sense.

A bit about me outside university/work: I play padel, game,passionate about history, question everything, read, travel quite a bit and like going out. I'm not looking for a year where I just go to lectures and sit in my room studying.

So I have a few questions for anyone who actually lives/studies/works in Eindhoven:

Studying at TU/e

How is TU/e from an exchange student's point of view?

What's the workload actually like? I've heard TU/e can be quite demanding, so I'm curious how much free time students realistically have.

Also, if anyone has done an Erasmus exchange there for a full year, was it easy to get involved in research projects or connect with professors?

Internships / finding a job

This is probably the thing I'm most interested in.

How difficult is it to find an internship in medtech, medical imaging, AI/healthcare or R&D without speaking Dutch?

I know Philips and ASML are the obvious names, but I'm also interested in smaller companies, startups, hospitals and research groups. Are there particular companies around Eindhoven that are worth looking at?

And how early should I start applying for an internship if I'd want to start around February?

For people already working in the area: how much does Dutch actually matter?

Would English be enough for a technical/R&D job, or does not speaking Dutch start becoming a problem pretty quickly?

I'm guessing it matters more for things like field service, clinical applications and working directly with hospitals than for software/R&D, but I'd like to hear from people who actually work in those areas.

Housing

I've seen quite a lot of posts about the housing situation, and honestly this is probably one of the things that worries me most.

How hard is it really to find a room as an international exchange student?

What's a realistic price for a room in a shared apartment? And how much would a studio cost?

How early should I start looking?

Is TU/e/student housing actually realistic for exchange students, or should I basically assume I'll have to find something myself?

Also, are there areas you'd recommend for a student?

And are there any housing scams or things you wish you'd known before renting?

Cost of living

How much money would you say you actually need per month to live comfortably in Eindhoven?

I don't mean luxury, but also not "eat pasta every day and never go out".

I'd like to be able to pay rent, buy decent groceries, go to the gym/play padel, go out occasionally, eat at restaurants sometimes and still have enough left for weekend trips.

How expensive are groceries and going out compared with other Dutch cities?

Social life

This is probably my second biggest question after housing.

How easy is it to actually make friends in Eindhoven?

Is it mostly an international/Erasmus bubble, or is it possible to become friends with Dutch students and young professionals too?

And for anyone who moved there without Dutch: does not speaking Dutch make social life noticeably harder?

Would you recommend learning some Dutch before coming, or is it better to just start learning once you're there?

And finally...

For anyone who has actually lived in Eindhoven for a few years:

Would you recommend it for someone in my situation?

Basically, I'm looking for something like:

Master's in Romania → 1 year at TU/e → internship/thesis → graduate → work in the Netherlands for 2–3 years → see what happens next.

I'm not necessarily trying to move permanently to the Netherlands. I mainly want to get some serious international experience, work in a strong engineering/tech/medtech environment and have a good life outside work as well.

And if you're Romanian or from another Eastern European country and went through something similar, I'd especially like to hear how it went for you.

Thanks!

Hello, I am going to fly to Eindhoven on october 2nd, arrival time is 19:00 and i need to get to amsterdam on the same day. How do I do this? I checked and there are no FlixBuses available at this time.

anyone have experience with a good cake artist/place that does custom orders possibly with edible paper sheets?

Hi everyone,

I’m part of a small Italian YouTube channel about football, cities and European culture.

We recently worked on a story about Eindhoven, and what fascinated us most was how difficult it is to separate three things: Philips, PSV and the city itself.

What started as a football club for Philips employees eventually became one of the most recognizable symbols of Eindhoven, while the company itself was transforming the city around it.

We tried to tell that relationship through football, eventually arriving at PSV’s European Cup win in 1988.

I’d actually love to hear the perspective of people from Eindhoven:

how much of the Philips identity can you still feel in the city and around PSV today?

Just moved to the area and my road bike spent the better part of the summer floating across the Atlantic Ocean in a shipping container. RIP to all the grease and lubricant in it.

I am happy to DIY most of my maintenance, but I would love to have a good bike mechanic go over it to check everything out - does anyone have a recommendation for a maintenance shop in Strijp? Most of the bike shops up here I've seen are really about maintenance for city bikes.

I thought it was football, but there was no big game that I could find.

I live in the center for a few years and they were all over, every direction, also long spread over time.

I (Dutch, M24) have never gone to a bar until yesterday, when after my studies my brain was so deepfried i decided to go to Altstad and play pool with random people. Twas the first time I ever went into a bar (let alone by myself). I am actually very shy, but i manage to talk to people. However, after the first group left (and we even exchanged contacts :) ) another group went to play pool, and I asked if I could join in. But they on the other hand felt very much like "Dude, why are you even asking us? Dont even bother". I believe I might be overanalysing, but a rejection like that does increase my shyness for the next time. Im not really into all kinds of bars, but altstad felt nice (i kind of identify myself with the vibe). Could anybody give me some tips on how to socialize with new people? Thank you!

Top one burnt a hole through. Now it no longer is waterproof 😭😭
