Bottle Distillery artisanally prepares gin, bierbrand, vodka and liqueurs on a small-scale. The distillery is located in the center of Eindhoven, in the old 'Schellensfabriek'. You are very welcome to come and meet our potstill with its copper helmet. In our tasting room you can try our products: pure or in one of our specially selected mixes. There is a little shop where you can buy our products. You can arrange a visit, tour, tasting or workshop on any day and time. Just mail or call us for an appointment. On Fridays and Saturdays the distillery, tasting room and shop is also open without appointment, from 13.00 till 22.00 hours
Booked the basic tour which cost around €11. We were given a brief introduction as to how Bottle Distillery was born. The distillery was set-up and is run by a lovely couple who have a passion for what they do. Mark and his wife have created a unique attraction that is part-distillery and part-bar. The 'still' is the most beautiful piece of aparatus and is captivating to watch as you get a talk on how it all works. Really amazing piece of kit! But the proof is in the pudding, which brings us to the product which comes out of the still. They produce a selection of gorgeous Gins (the Winter Gin being my personal favorite. So much flavor!). The Beer Brandy and liqueurs are amazing. The tour included a tasting of any 3 from their product line, which we felt was generous. The tour stated 30 minutes, but we spent a total of 90 minutes with a lovely Gin & Tonic beforehand and sipping the samples after the tour. Wonderful establishment and I'd highly recommend. Easily the best €11 I've ever spent. Looking forward to seeing Orion Gin in the UK in a few years ;) Keep up the good work guys!

This is a nice museum around operation Market Garden. There's a Bailey bridge, a Spitfire, a Dakota (I think), a V1, artillery, and other large vehicles. There's a movie showing the para droppings and displays with different uniforms of the different police units under German occupation. In the forest area around the museum, there are monuments to fallen Allied soldiers, Joe Mann and Robert Cole.

The zoo was absolutely fantastic. Such close encounters with the animals. We had a trailer for the kids to pull them around, as the park is very big. But always something to see with every step you take. We also had food here too which was also good. Very clean restaurant. A lot of work going on improving the park. Very good day out.

If you look for a day of relaxation in a natural atmosphere close to Eindhoven, Thermae Son is still the place to be. It has all facilities you can think of under one roof. Thermae of course like all sportschool of sauna's, with special herbal treatments. Beauty salon, hairdresser, massage facilities, fitness club, swimmingpool, a brasserie, childcare. We went to the Thermae. Arrived at two in the afternoon and left around Nine in the evening, totally relaxed. There is a nice garden with high trees, like in a forest. The sun was shining. The herbal sauna was a sensation.
Staff was very friendly, the food < we had a salade> very tasty!
We surely will return.

The village of Nuenen is also known as Van Gogh Village, and rightly so. There isn’t a place in the Netherlands where you can tread in the footsteps of this famous painter quite so literally. Here, stories about Van Gogh are still vividly told, his letters are available for Reading, and there are no fewer than fourteen locations which have been immortalised by Van Gogh in a picture or a painting. Experiencing Van Gogh’s life in the Netherlands so intensely is not possible anywhere else. “The museum is a gem” In the Vincentre museum you will hear all about Van Gogh and read his own stories about Nuenen, where he lived and worked from 1883 to 1885. Who was he, how did he live, who did he socialise with, and why was he so passionate about Nuenen? It will all become clear during an educational tour with an audio guide in no fewer than eight languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. In the village itself, no fewer than 23 locations have a direct link with Van Gogh. Together, they form a walking and cycling route with interactive informational signs in Dutch and English. From The Potato Eaters to The Starry Night The Potato Eaters is based on a scene that Van Gogh saw at the house of a peasant family in Nuenen. It literally comes to life in theatre Het Klooster. The world famous designer Daan Roosegaarde designed, based on Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, the now famous and unique Van Gogh-Roosegaarde cycle path, for which thousands of twinkling stones were incorporated in the asphalt. This cycle path, between Nuenen and the nearby city of Eindhoven, is part of the Van Gogh Cycle Route. Heritage locations in Brabant This cycle route connects the five Van Gogh heritage locations in Brabant, which of course include Nuenen. You won’t get any closer to Van Gogh than this. Or, as one of our enthusiastic guests wrote about Nuenen: “The same view that Van Gogh had!” Come and experience the place in which Van Gogh was inspired by the rural Brabant countryside, easily accessible at no more than ten kilometres away from Eindhoven, city of technology and design.
Nuenen is the place where Vincent van Gogh spent two years and painted "The Potato Eaters" there in 1885. You will find a nice sculpture of this painting in the park. You can even join it by sitting on a separate chair... the artist's chair? At the museum (8 Euro admission), you will get a map of the town. The exposition is very good and tells a lot about Vincent's life but ... it is all in Dutch. If you do not speak Dutch or do not have a native whisperer, the Vincentre will not give you any value, except for purchasing something from the gift shop. There is a marked outdoor route with significant points, all with panels also in English, some of them with audio, also in English. If you do not travel with car, you can get to Nuenen by bus in less than 10 minutes from Eindhoven central train station.

This Zoo is small, but with quite a variety of animals and it is very quiet. On the day that I was there I shared the Park with only 10 others!.
The animals look in good health, even though the Jaguar looks a bit lonely. Where all other of the big cat's have a partner, the Jaguar is alone in the cage and seems less lively than the cougars/pumas and the leopards. The Zoo is well maintained, but the spaces/ cages are a bit small, it should expand further or limit the number of different animals. Still if I compare this Zoo, with it's bit older way of housing animals to other Zoo's in the world than the animals seem overall lively and in better conditions.
For me it was just nice to walk around as if it was my own private Zoo. I could talk to the animals (I know it sounds a bit silly) and the responded.
In other words it has pro's and con's... I would still tell people to come and visit it. A nice collection of animals and very quiet!.

The first place that I visited in Eindhoven was museum. For fans that would be like heaven. The museum is filled with videos from the begining till now, historic pictures and portrays and newspapers, the iconic and memorable stuff from their players, championship cups and rewards. I just needed english info which were not always available but I think if I used that app that would be helpful.

Inmiddels heb ik al meerdere escape rooms gedaan, zowel in binnen en buitenland dus mag wel zeggen dat ik enige ervaring heb. Vol enthousiasme begon ik samen met 5 andere aan de kamer. De kamer is leuk opgezet met verassende elementen alleen jammer genoeg werkte niet alles naar behoren of moest je toch meer kracht gebruiken dan noodzakelijk was.
Voornamelijk de laatste puzzel was erg ver doorgedacht. Deze kamer was zeker een van de moeilijkste die ik heb gedaan.
