What kind of experience are you looking for?
And which city?
ChangeBrabant sausage roll
In Brabant, sausage rolls (worstenbroodjes) are a staple. Buy one at a local bakery or supermarket, share it and take a group photo with everyone holding a piece or mid-bite.
City of Light coronation
Today the guest of honour is the star of the City of Light. Crown them with a sash, tiara or glowing accessory (lights, glow sticks, anything goes) and take a photo of the official coronation, ideally with a hip Eindhoven backdrop.
Design detail
Eindhoven is THE design centre of the Netherlands (Design Academy and Dutch Design Week). Find a striking design detail in the city (a chair, a lamp, a facade, a sculpture) and take a group photo around it as if you designed it yourselves.
Eindhoven local wanted
Convince a random Eindhoven local to share one fun fact or design tip about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu city guide and remember the tip, you might go there next.
Industrial chic
Strijp-S is design, brick and steel canopies. Take a group photo with a real factory hall or a giant letter "S" behind you, and pose as if you run a design studio.
Kick-off in the City of Light
The party starts! Find a true Eindhoven spot (a terrace, a design facade, the 18 Septemberplein) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.
Lights pose
City of Light obliges. Find a striking light object in the city (a neon sign, a lamp facade, a light artwork) and take a group photo with the light clearly in frame. Bonus if everyone has a sparkle in their eyes.
Markt style
The Markt is the launch pad for any Eindhoven outing. Take a group photo on the square with the terraces and the Catharina Church in frame, and pose as if you just walked out of a long lunch.
Markt terrace cheers
The Markt has the cosiest terraces in town. Order something festive, clink with the whole team and take a photo of the official toast with the Catharina Church or another Eindhoven backdrop in frame. To the guest of honour!
PSV celebration
You cannot stand quietly in front of the Philips Stadium. Take a group photo where everyone celebrates as if PSV just scored, with the stadium clearly behind you. The louder the pose, the better.
