Eindhoven

Eindhoven might not be the first Dutch city that comes to ones mind, but it is the greenest city in the country. It is also considered to be the country’s design capital, hosting the largest design event in Nothern Europe called “Dutch Design Week”, attracting 350,000 visitors every year.

Furthermore, the city is a hub for technology, innovation and science, with many career opportunities within the fields. It has a population 200-300,000 people, making it a perfect home for those who want a vibrant city life with a high life standard, without all the stress and delays.

As the minimum wage in The Netherlands is one of the highest in the whole of Europe, you can live comfortably in Eindhoven despite the somewhat high living costs.

Working in Eindhoven often comes with a great work-life balance and there are surprisingly many things to do and see for a relatively small city. You will for example find the Philips Museum, telling the story of the world known electronics company, or the Van Abbemuseum famous for it’s modern art. It is also home to PSV, one of the biggest football clubs in The Netherlands.
