Shopping in Eindhoven

Where to go shopping in Eindhoven

You can go shopping in Eindhoven in several areas/districts. The three main ones are:

1. the city centre: check out Onigiri, Sissy Boy (in the Blob), and Polare Bookstore , to name just a few shops in that area. Well, not ‘just’, these are shops that I like ;-). Besides that, of course all the big brands and known store-chains can be found in this area.

The glass dome is named The Blob and Sissy Boy has it’s concept-store in there. A must-visit when you are in Eindhoven!

2. De Bergen (see further on in this article)

3. Strijp-S and Strijp-R (see further on in this article)

Different types of shopping experiences in Eindhoven

Shopping malls

If you like big shopping malls, often filled with well-known brands, then check out:

• De Admirant
• Piazza Center
• De Heuvel
• WoensXL (the only one that is not in the city centre)

De Bergen

Maybe you prefer charming streets with small, independent shops and boutiques. In that case I would advice you to go to De Bergen, a triangular district near the centre.

The three streets forming De Bergen are:

• Kleine Berg
• Grote Berg
• Bergstraat

There are ample antique stores and more than enough F&B options to choose from.

Some nice shops in this area are :

• reisboekhandel De Bergen +Landschap
• Label
• You Are Here
• De Stoute Stoel
• 2Balou
• INU4Vintage (located just outside De Bergen triangle)
• Twinkelbel
• Cannes Trouves

Other nice shopping streets, outside De Bergen, are:

• Willemstraat: art galleries, Deense Kroon
• Kerkstraat
• Smalle Haven: Doortje Vintage, Design Daily’s,

Hip hotspots Strijp-S and Strijp-R

For those who are into design, art and creative things, former factory terrains Strijp-S en Strijp-R may be just what you are looking for, with stores like:

• Out of the Blue
• Urban Shopper
• Piet Hein Eek
• Yksi

Be sure to check out the complete Eindhoven-series, for e.g. for more info on F&B in Eindhoven and for more about the areas Strijp S and R, and to find out all about my visit to Piet Hein Eek’s imperium. I also wrote about where to sleep and tips for art lovers in Eindhoven.
