Eindhoven:

Located in the south of Holland, Eindhoven is a modern city and an international center of technology.

With major companies such as Philips laying foundations in the city and a geographical location that attracts traffic congestion, Eindhoven's main attraction lies beyond the city center in its beautiful country surroundings.

However, a substantial number of lively bars and cafes will attract a number of tourists when Euro 2000 commences.
