Scroll down for some options of sustainable hot spots in Eindhoven (and around) or how about doing a self guided walking tour in the centre of Eindhoven?
The map below: The route starts at Broodt, where you can have some coffee/tea (or a full breakfast) before you start. You can reverse the route too, and finish your tour with a lunch there. This route works best on Saturdays, organic market on Wilhelminaplein is there only on Saturdays starting from 10:00am. (Ps. Check opening times for the locations before you head out)
If you want to make your route longer, here are some suggestions:
- Odin (Roostenlaan 104-106): Organic vegetables and fruit without packaging & various other products
- Books 4 Life (Hertogstraat 2.02): Second hand books (there is also a cute vintage store next door)
