Eindhoven
is a major Dutch city located in the southern part of the
Netherlands.
How to come to Eindhoven (car / train / air)
Eindhoven University of Technology is situated in the
city of Eindhoven.
By car
It can be reached easily by car from the highways leading to Eindhoven (for details, see
our route descriptions or
consult our map with highway connections).
By train
You can reach the university quite easily by train. The university buildings are
situated near the railway (and bus) station. Leaving the platform, you go down the stairs
and turn to the right. You leave the building on the north side, facing the bus station.
The university buildings are situated to the north-east and are about ten minutes
walk.
Use the
on-line international time table
of the Dutch railways (called NS) for international train connections to
Eindhoven.
By air
Through
Amsterdam Airport.
From Amsterdam Airport the train will take you directly to
Eindhoven (as from March 13, 2006). Schiphol station is directly underneath the
airport. So you get on and off the train right beneath the departure/arrival
lounge. Free luggage trolleys are available on the platform at Schiphol station.
Tickets are available from the NS point of sale in the lounge and in ticket
machines, which you can find in the lounge too and already in the hall of the
luggage pick-up (you cannot buy a ticket on the
train).
The big yellow NS (NS is the Dutch
abbreviation for Dutch railways) signs indicate platform number and time tables.
The Dutch railways have an
on-line time table in English
(enter
"Schiphol" for Amsterdam airport) which also indicates platform numbers and
final destinations of trains.
It takes slightly almost one and a half hour to go to Eindhoven. A single ticket
Schiphol-Eindhoven costs € 17,50 .
Eindhoven has an international airport
with direct connections to
several European airports
and a frequent service to Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol). For details consult the time table
of
Eindhoven airport.
Once you have arrived at Eindhoven Airport, you can take the
shuttle bus (401).
The other possibility is to take a taxi to the centre of
Eindhoven which will cost about
€ 35,-.
Of course it is also possible to arrive at Eindhoven via the
airports of Maastricht or Rotterdam; from both cities there are regular train
connections to Eindhoven. There are also airports not too far from Eindhoven, in
Brussels and Düsseldorf, but with less convenient connections.
